I'm concerned about heating issues and the longetivity of my mac. I am getting a new 14" MBP soon. I currently have a 12" Macbook Retina and it's on it's last legs. Battery can't hold a charge, the charging cable broke so I had to tape it up, and the "E" and "I" keys fell off. Some of the keys have the black part chipping off so i can't even see the letters on them anymore. I had never had such bad experience with Apple products as I had with this one. So I'm kind of skeptical and cautious about the new MBP. I certainly hope it won't give me the same issues. I will be using it mostly in bed to surf and watch videos. Is it okay for it to be on a bed surface or should it be placed on a hard flat surface? I'm worried about the heat. Because I'm assuming that's how my keys fell off in the first place.
I'm afraid to even shut the lid to put it to sleep. I've had instances when I would close the lid to automatically put my computer to sleep and then wake up only to find out that the machine was running the entire time. It was extremely hot. Would it be better just to either sleep with the lid open or just shut it down completely. I don't want to take any more chances when the new macbook arrives.
