How exactly does the Macbook Air cool itself?? There's no vent for air to come out from the fan on the CPU so I am a little confused on how this works. Thanks in advance!!!
See the plastic bit near the hinge? That's where the exhuast, and intakes, are located.
And heat can also escape via the keyboard!
No, I don't really see them...do you have a picture?
Do you have a macboook air nearby? It's in that area between the LCD panel and the keyboard. It's the ONLY bit of black plastic you can see on the MBA (well, short of the KB, lol).
The intake and exhaust vents in all Apple notebooks are located in the rear, near the hinge.How exactly does the Macbook Air cool itself?? There's no vent for air to come out from the fan on the CPU so I am a little confused on how this works. Thanks in advance!!!
While heat radiates in all directions, no venting is done through the keyboard. The keyboard has a solid piece under it, preventing any meaningful air flow.And heat can also escape via the keyboard!

the whole metal chassis, too, come to think of it
Heat radiates all directions, especially upward through the keyboard. That doesn't mean the keyboard has vents but rather heat simply dissipates through all the surfaces.Hmm, so why is my 11-inch MBA keyboard getting warm?

Sorry to hijack this thread. However the black strip which you see under your mba is it normal for it to move slightly to the left and right?
Yes. Slightly. Sometimes, at least in the case of my 2011 11's, it may also be slightly off kilter at the hing edges. My 2013, however, is straight, but still moves just a little.

"Warm" is rather subjective. My MBA keyboard feels warmer than the aluminum body. But it isn't warm enough to cause me any concern. My 2008 15" MBP would get really hot, to the point that you wouldn't want to put it on your lap while wearing shorts.

Doesn't move at all on my 2013 11" MBA.
Hey well I do have a mid 2011 model, so since then have clearly got better built models.
