I just plugged in my 1 week old 13" macbook pro while using it for 15 minutes and checked the block of the plug and it was extremely hot, is this normal?
Got a tip for us?

Macbook Pro Charger getting really hot

Yeah it is. I left mine on the carpet and it burned my hand if I held it for more than a few seconds. I would leave it on a tile surface or something.
Too hot to handle? If so it may be a fault - call Apple otherwise it's probably normal, if it's just hot.
I was on YouTube browsing and watching some videos, my charger block was extremely hot to the touch...
Yep I was on hulu watching some shows while this happened so maybe that's why, I'll just have to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the responses.
The charger has a direct plug in piece (the prongs stick out of the block) and an extension cord piece (the prongs are on the end of the extension cord which sticks out of the box).
Mine also gets very hot but only when charging. If I'm running off the charger but my computer is fully charged it is barely even warm. I actually haven't even used the direct plug-in yet so I'm not sure if that would help.
