Since I was thinking about selling the laptop and upgraded a MBP, I took it to my local Apple store to fix all cracks. What they did was essentially put on an extra layer of inner case and bezel. It looks and feels really nice but the problem is the laptop is now officially a hot potato. The CPU idles at 60C, jacks up to 85C with youtube video playing at 360p. Not to mention the 6000RPM-turning- fan. Is this normal?

Also, does Apple also fix the hinge that makes popping sound? I have been googling and people seem to put WD-40 around the hinge to fix it, which I am very skeptical of.
