I just use them on my lap and have never had heat problems with any of my macbooks.
Before I bought my first macbook air I wrote a program on the console that slammed the CPU and left it running at the apple store. When I came back a few hours later the program was still running (100% CPU on all cores) and the machine was still cool to the touch. I then purchased the laptop.

It's a very specific set of models that have the heat issue. Mine could easily hit 90C under load (it just bricked itself last week). Which mean it was quite hot to the touch. After I changed the thermal compound, it would hit the low 80s (C) at peak, but even then, it was quite hot.
- grandalf 12y agoI haven't had that model. Apple has clearly had some thermal design problems in the past, but my sense is that they have been resolved in newer models.
- slantyyz 12y agoLooks like they may not be. In this article today, some people think the new Mac Pro's issues are thermal related: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/12/30/apples-latest-mac-pro-continues-to-cause-problems-for-professional-users http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/12/30/apples-latest-mac-...
