2012 Macbook Pro "Heat Issue"

Shootist007 what are you talking about? Notebooks ARE Laptops... They are designed to be used in a portable way such as putting it on your lap.

Please RTFM.

Not sure which side this helps, but . . .

This is from TFM:

If your MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably

warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface.

Again, if anyone has any specific information about what the normal heat and fan ranges should be, I would appreciate it.

I wonder if the Mac will run without the battery and if it still gets ridiculously hot. Unfortunately the battery on the new Macs is not easily removable what with those microscopic screws they use.

Have you heard of the TILT 15? Its really good I recommend it 🙂 I could even use my MacBook on my lap now 😀

Do you mean osx Mountain lion ? and what model ur MBP?

Thanks for the idea I will give that a try now and let you know.

And why cant you boot into safe mode with an encrypted hard drive? Frustrating and such a time waster...

Yes thanks, I read that too. My post was in frustration to that fact. It takes hours to decrypt a drive. It isnt a simple "disable". But its done and we will see how she goes.

Apple employees do read these posts right?

Nope - no one around here but us users. Apple only provides monitoring when someone reports a post as inappropriate...

I find it bizzare, but people dont seem to think its an issue. I dont buy it.

Hi, Clinton. Does your machine run under 2000 rpm? Mine is right on 2000 plus/minus 5. Ted.

You are Correct, there was intention behind not naming them Laptop
