Does it refer to cpu temps or just the bottom of the pb? the pdf spec sheet says operating temps are from 50-95F (10-35C). i hope they're not referring to the cpu, because mine is currently running over 140F (over 60C). i'm onlyh surfing the web, no intensive activity right now. seems a little hot to me. is this normal from what you all have found? thanks.

oops, you're right. i thought it was giving suggested environmental temps, as well as expected temps of the machine. should have read closer. oh well, do the temps i posted above seem ok then? thanks.

My AlBook won't get over 60C unless I'm playing games or using it sitting on a cushion or something. On a desk the CPU is significantly cooler when performing normal tasks (email/web/iTunes/coding), say 45-55C depending on ambient temp.
