MacBook Pro (i7 spec) - PSU is red hot?

[Darren S]

Is this normal? I know it's 'expected' to draw a fair amount of current in order to power the CPU and the onboard gfx. But that little white PSU is seriously hot - just about comfortable enough to hold in the palm of your hand.

Can anyone else confirm that their PSU is the same?

Cheers,

Yup. They all do it.

Thanks for clearing that up, Tom!

Yup. Even my i7 iMac does it and that's got infinitely better cooling.
