Guys, I have a first week 15" MBP. It has always run very hot. Up to 65+ in CoreDuo Temp. I have run the newest Firmware update and it helped a little but not alot. Anyway I've been living with it, but with summer here and wearing shorts now this thing is unbearable on my legs. Yes, I know its not supposed to be used on your lap, but this heat is absurd. Im sure it would leave marks if I left it there. All this is just while web browsing and other various tasks. God forbid I go into windows to play hl2, or the things feels like its on fire. Is there anything they will do for me? I can't really affoard to send this in. I use this computer for work and whatnot. I have a store near me, will they do anything?
Got a tip for us?

Take it into the nearest Apple store and explain that it'll burn you if you leave it on your skin, they will most likely give you a replacement (and possibly a later build that isn't as hot).

Do they have a way to just transfer over the entire hard drive. And I wonder how they would handle my model as its not avaliable anymore. I have the original 2ghz version with the gig of ram and whatnot. Would they just give me the 2.16 version?
They still have the 2.0ghz version, I believe. It's the 1.83 that was dropped. *looks down* ...dammit.
You know that centigrade right? All i know is the case is pretty ****ing hot.ManchesterTrix said:

All I know is that mine went up to 180 plus (in Fº) and they said "That's normal." returned it right then and there, bought a MacBook 2 weeks later that doesn't feel nearly as hot.

Yes. 65 Degrees C is not that hot for the CPU Die temp. The Shut-off temperature is 125 Degrees celcius and the maximum running temp of the Duo is 100 degrees.
Do you have documented case temperature? All I know is that just saying "My computer is hot and the CPU gets to 65 degrees" is not going to bee seen as valid.

how would i go about messuring the temp of the case? I'm not really looking to get something for nothing. This computer is just freaking hot.
