Apple wouldn't release a product that would melt in your lap and not in your hand.

Wait, so if you claim thats "sarcasm" then his point is that Apple actually would release a product that would melt in your lap and not in your hand?

Maybe you need to look up what "sarcasm" is before you lecture people on it. If anything then its just a lame joke.

I really don't think his spelling is bad. He misspelled "whoa," I mean so what. He should have written instability instead of unstability, and technically you spell the word "right" not "rite." But I mean really: it's the Internet! People short-hand all the time.
 
Yes you must spell correctly on here THE INTERNETS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

He got his point across, so who cares? Anyway, no you have nothing to worry about. While it is a bit hot, it won't melt or anything like that so don't worry.

just install the new firmware upgrade that apple released for MacBooks. It will cool your macbook 10-15 oC or maybe more, so you wont have to worry abt it melting (that would never happen in any case) and it will also let you to use it on your lapps.
 
reason being for my bad spelling is because im getting used to the macbook keyboard...and like u guys said im a big fan of short hand typing....so there u go mr 2nd post whiner!!....and thanks for the responces guys hopefully this heat is what apple exactly intended.
 
It's not that hot....not any hotter than 90% of the PCs, and it's close to the heat a Powerbook/iBook put out.

Like harisdmac said, run the SMC Firmware update. It changes how the fans run and the end result is that your MacBook should be a fair bit cooler.
