Hi there,

I bought a Black Mac book last June and am starting to notice the bottom of it is getting really really hot ... to the point were I can not have it on my lap, I have to put something under it to protect my desk.

I took it in to apple they ran some diagnostics on it and said it was fine.

(that was a month ago) .. not I am starting to notice the fan comes on all the time ... if I try to watch a movie preview from Apple.com .. the fan comes on .... and stays on fro a long time .

Is there something wrong wit hit or it this normal?

Thanks,
Chris

Not normal. Try calling AppleCare. They are more helpful than an Retail Store.
