Apple states clearly in their documentation (and it's been mentioned in several podcasts) that macbooks should *not* be used on a lap, but on a flat surface such as a table top to provide adequate air circulation to prevent overheating.
Now, with that said.Yes, I have the same problem with my macbook pro, so generally when it begins getting hot, I put it down on a table for a while until it's usable on the lap again. Generally, if you give it breathing room instead of leaving it flat on your lap, it doesn't get too bad.

Listers does anyone use a Mac Book Pro and finds that it gets very hot. Mine is so hot that it is literally burning my leg through my paints as I type this message. I realize that it is aluminum, but is this normal? Do I need to let it cool off or what?Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
