Does my rev b air run hot?

[EB66]

On my lap, browsing the web (not youtube) my air idles at 120 to 130 degrees fahrenheit

is this hot for a rev b?

That's a little hot. It also depends how many tabs you have open and what content you are viewing (Flash is on other webpages besides YouTube).

Idling my MBA runs about 109. Right now for Safari I have one tab open and I'm downloading the iPhone 3.0 beta firmware. Currently, my MBA is running 119.

Do you have other applications open as well? I notice if I have Pages '09 open my MBA gets pretty hot.

i think i might actually take it apart and swap the thermal paste it doesn't seem like that hard of a job
