just get one of these from ikea.

beats resting them on your lap or on the bed.

i must confess that i dunno how to check the temperature of the laptop. if it feels uncomfortably warm, it probably is.

buy iLap ...end of story

iLap = Rm300 plus

kevler,

Do you own an iLap? If you do, how much difference in temperature drop does it make? thanks

i never buy that thing ...but i have made experiment where if there's good air-flowing beneath the laptop , the heat will reduce by itself.

so iLap is one of the solution to fade the heat away from Macbook/Pro

mine's c2d

average = 60 C
max = 84 C

here's a screenshot for the 84C...

I have one of these but it's not comfortable where it's hard that you have to adjust your body to it's height and strains my back

dont you think it abit too hot?
average 60 and max is 84, almost boiling T_T

mine too... 80+ when running on real player, microsoft powerpoint etc. (already got smcfan control but for me it make not much different) i think it is normal for mb n mbp.

i think real player is ur source of high temp...
whenever i watch a .rm movie... it always boast the temp till 80+ de...

so now i tried not to view in full screen...

Mine with Wifi and Abode Photoshop + Itunes is only at 76C atm.

i just start my MB n its above 30C ady, is it a problem??

ok guys, i'm not sure will this help u. but i'm using cooler (cooler master make with full aluminum and with 3 fans for my mbp) seems not getting a hot temp. but i think i will get iLap because i feel that iLap got a better air flow and it didn't use USB port. my cooler use one USB port to power the 3 fans.
