I just switched from an old Toshiba notebook to one of the new MacBooks. On my old computer, I had to make sure the fans/vents were not covered. However, I don't see any fans/vents on the MacBook, so what precautions do I need to take to prevent overheating? Thanks for any advice!
Got a tip for us?

heat
Congrats on the new macbook!!! I just keep mine on a surface where the air can go underneath and don't set it on your bed with it running or on a pile of blankets. There are no vents on the bottom of any of the Macbooks or the pros. Mine gets warm on my lap from time to time but not a "burning" hot. Good luck and Congrats on the switch.

from memory, i think that the vents are where the monitor section joins the keyboard/case section.
you wont have to watch it that much, the new penryn CPUs run very cool compared to older models.
it will be fine!
