Some MacBook computers may appear to be running too warm, with the fan running consistently and heat emanating from the top and/or the bottom of the computer.

If this happens with your MacBook, check the rear vent of the MacBook to make sure it's not blocked.

Some MacBooks may have left the factory with a thin piece of clear plastic covering the rear vent. This is used in the factory to prevent dust from getting into your computer. If your MacBook has the plastic still over the vent, simply remove and discard it.

Yah I just read this over at HWZ. I think it only applies to the very very first few batches...
The main problem is still the whole freaking tube of thermal paste on the CPU -,-!

Anyways I think people would have realised by now if their air vent is blocked lol.

Touched the MacBook before. Its quite warm. Might have second thoughts about it.

Or maybe the manual is just for illustration purposes? Meanwhile, I've not got the guts to open this machine up to see for myself.
