hey everyone, i just got my new 13 inch mbp and ive been using it for a couple hours now. it seems to me that it is over heating a little bit but i am not sure. i have attached my istat temps. i am just running safari and mail. my battery is fully charged but i am wondering why my battery level shows only 3.5 hours if i unlpug the charger. is this normal? should i break in my battery somehow? thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

Are the fans running? Don't see your temps. if posted. Is spotlight indexing?
That'll make you think somethings wrong right off the bat and it takes a while with a larger drive.
your cpu IS pretty warm with your fans running that much. are you sure youre not on a flash heavy site or something?
yea i am just on macrumors. the palm area is also pretty warm. how can i find out if spotlight is indexing? or any other ideas?
i see, thanks for the tip. but it is not indexing. it has been this hot for the past few hours. i guess i will just let it rest for the night and check it out tomorrow. hopefully it will be fine.
definitely is a bit warm for just light browsing. my CPU hardly ever goes over 65 C with safari, itunes, and sometimes mail. my fans always go at around 2000 rpm.
I'm pretty sure your battery will be better once you calibrate, but it will not be the 7 hours that apple claims it to be

not even bad
I wouldn't worry about that I've got my cpu up to 85˚ on my 13 inch mbp just from watching a few videos online I think the unibody makes it harder for heat to escape or somthing.

Don't worry about the CPU temperature, it is good up to 105C.
Check if you have any background processes using up CPU power. Open Activity Monitor and set it to show all processes. Look at the %CPU and CPU Time columns to see what is running the most. Sometimes a process like CoreAudio will get stuck at 10% for no reason, and either killing it or rebooting will fix it most of the time.

There's nothing wrong with those temps. Anything over 90 deg C and you start questioning, 100+ then you start worrying.
I keep my air at 80-85 deg C almost 24/7.
People really need to quit worrying about the temperatures of their MBP's really temps up to about 95 are fine, after that then you can start showing some concern. But really people STOP WORRYING and making repeat threads. Your computer is fine, don't worry about it. The fans will kick in, in time and the temps will go down. Apple knew what they were doing when they made the computer trust me you are fine.
