I was at an Apple Dealer Store in UK a couple of hours ago and a customer walked in with a Paris Powerbook 15" showing his keyboard which had bent upwards, on the right side because of what he and the dealer surmised was heat!
Any 15" Al users facing heat issues?

Woah! Nothing that bad. Temperature Monitor reports 130-140 F consistently for me, and the keyboard is cooler than skin. I think that that guy's PB was incorrectly assembled. The heat from the CPU doesn't conduct up through the keyboard much - it goes out the back up the screen. The optical and hard drives shouldn't make enough heat to distort the plastic of the keyboard.

Max tempeature mine has ever reached in any area is 147 F under the processor. Other areas have reamined cooler, and that reading came from running a CPU/GPU intensive program.
The two fans seems to keep things under control when using it heavially. And the system never turns them on for me unless I do run something like a game.

My 17" rev A keyboard was floating up on the bottom right corner near the arrow keys. I don't think it was due to heat. I think the adhesive that's supposed to bond it to the frame was just not working for some reason.

My 15" Al's keyboard is coming up in the upper left corner, and I'm pretty sure it came that way, as I noticed it very shortly after receiving it. I'm pretty certain that heat wasn't the cause. It was probably just a defect in the keyboard or something. I would think that the computer would have to get really really hot to warp plastic or soften adhesive.
