Hm, this might explain why my 2011 Air is occasionally on and hot when I pull it out of my laptop bag, too. I only started noticing it after the Mountain Lion

I only started noticing it after the Mountain Lion upgrade, so I figured it was more likely something to do with their crazy new sleep mode, but hey, perhaps it's a combination of factors?
- rm999 14y agoI don't think the Air can fully turn on in clamshell mode, unlike the pro. This is (I believe) because the air uses its body as a heat sink.

- rm999 14y agoAh you are right, my bad.
- thedufer 14y agoThe Air has a fan that is hidden in the hinge, and it is unobstructed even when the lid is closed. So this is probably not the case.
