hi all, did a search but nothing came up here on this issue

my MBpro is heating up. Idling around 65 degrees and shoots up to 80 just doing normal browsing. yesterday the entire MBp freaked out on me, trackpad wasn't working and it was just scrolling from left to right and back. Did a reboot and issue resolved.

maybe it is some kind of bug that happens rarely, hasn't happen to me before but if it persist then it is a problem

Mine burns really bad that it actually hurts to the touch...

Is your MBP i7 processor? If so, the more powerful the processor, the more heat they emit. Its normal for mbp to feel hot because the aluminium doesn't serve as a conductor, so you feel the 'real' heat, compared to some PC (thinkpad) where they use hard plastic so you don't feel the heat directly.

if it's not normal heat problem, call apple and have them repair it if it's still under warranty. ;)

Don't think that that's normal.

I have a 15-inch 2010 i7 MBP and it only became very hot because one or more of the fans was shot. I replaced them and it is running warm now but not very hot.
