Do you warm your feet with your MacBook's power brick?

[ViciousShadow21]

Some research says EM radiation producing devices (every consumer electronic device) in contact with the skin can be dangerous. I'm assuming the power brick has a pretty intense EMF.

watch out you guys you're all going to get foot cancer!!!

 

[EricNau]

Yes, I have.

My iBook's adapter is much smaller then a MB's, but it also warms feet quite nicely.

I think I'm gonna buy another power brick just to warm my other foot. It's like an $85 foot warmer!

 

[MrZebra]

No, there's the time capsule for that

While we're on the subject, I might as well bring up the airport extreme and apple TV. They both get EXTREMELY hot. It hurts to touch them. I just don't get why they both run so hot. My previous wifi router never even got warm.

Nope, but my cat likes to sleep on it.

I would think for the people who have corns on their feet probably wouldnt use the powerbrick to pop some "popcorns."

I'd highly recommend this product before you warm up your feet. (Ped Egg).

The popcorns will probably taste salty.

To be perfectly honest I didn't even realize it gets hot. I have it on my hardwood floor away from my feet. If we're talking about cooking your breakfast on your MBP, well that's a different story since I know my MBP can get *ahem* a tad warm

 

[liaammm]

Yeah I do it all the time espicially when I'm in bed using the extender when I don't even need it :L

 

[RKpro]

Ha ha, yes. I've done that.

In my student house it was a necessity. In fact I would fire up terminal to ramp my processors up to 100% when I first got into bed so the machine itself would be nice and toasty.

I also used to carry my power brick in my pocket on cold mornings to keep my hands warm.

I rarely use the power brick for this, I tend more to slide my iBook down to the bottom of the bed to block up the vents a bit then I rest my feet on the palm rests while I work on something else. Bliss

As a rule of thumb: it's an Apple product if it burns you when you touch it.

But really, a lot of Apple products tend to run hot. Even my iPhone does when its charging or when I'm on the phone. I use my MBP to warm up my hands sometimes.

 

[insignificantMB]

scared it might give me cancer haha

Umm.. No.. I live in Florida, it rarely gets under 36 degrees fahrenheit here, so I rarely am looking for a way to warm up my feet. Also my PowerBrick isn't reachable by my feet, I have it located on a shelf in my desk.
