Hi everybody

I was just wondering if your MacBook Airs fans get faster when you watch a 720p HD Trailer from Apple. Sometimes when I do, the fans go to about 2600rpm and the temp to 151F° or 65C°! Is that normal? Do you experience the same? Thanks :)

I once tried to get my MBA11's fan to spin faster than the idle 2000rpm. I stopped the test at 76°C. The fan hadn't started to spin up by then.

~50°C when watching Big Buck Bunny 1080p.
