Hello MacRumors,

I just purchased a M1 Macbook Air yesterday. Today I received a sleeve I bought and put my Mac inside it for a while.

However I forgot I put the sleeve on my second laptop (an HP) and by doing so that led the HP to run very hot (it was charging).

As soon as I saw that I immediately get the Mac out of the sleeve, it was very hot but worked fine.

I read on Apple's website that the operating temperature is up to 35 celsius degrees but I feel that it was way above that.

Is there any risk according to you ? The mac stayed like this during approximately 2 hours.

Thanks in advance !

I've used sleeves and other enclosed places to store my Macbooks in the past (and also my M1 Mackbook Air that I currently own) while they were in sleep mode, and they have never gotten warm, let alone hot.

What have you installed on it that could possibly be running during sleep mode? I'd look into that.

Hi and thanks you for your answer. In fact the heat comes from the other laptop which was below my Mac (it got really warm). That's where the heat comes from.
