Hello,

I have the '19 MBP 13inch (1.4 GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), and I can't help myself, but it is too hot to use.

What temperatures are normal for the CPU and Palm Rests?

I average up to 70°C @ CPU PECI (a bit less if not plugged in) just when browsing in safari or reading .pdfs in preview, and ~34°C @ Palm Rest.

It's actually quite annoying since my hands are sweating all the time, and it gets uncomfortable to type on (hot keyboard, hot palm rests) – especially now during the summer.

Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
