No Air vents on 2013 bottom Case

[Samji]

Hi, I have a 2009 MBP 15", and over the years it has taken a battering. Today I had the bottom and top case replaced, however I noticed that there are no air vents on the new bottom case, compared to that of the old one..

Being that the fan has no out-take, does this pose a problem?

Thanks

Where did you have the case replaced at? Apple? I would think there would be a potential problem at hand with no venting.

Apple authorised repair agent.. Thinking it could be an issue too..

no vents on the bottom of my unibody..

In that case I could be wrong, but am quite sure that they were on the previous one.

Looks normal to me.

Yep looks normal.

MBPs have never had bottom vents. It's all through the hinge.

Exactly! People from Indiana know their stuff!
