My MBA had lots of heat issues initially. When having a Skype call from waterpipe cafe terrace in Istanbul the Air would shut down when sun started shining. However, the Apple firmware update from autumn 2008 fixed most of that, and things were even better after I disabled Spotlight. Now I'm running Ubuntu on this and it doesn't get too hot to keep on lap any longer.
