When it's not so busy in our showroom I'll take a look at the ones in there for you. CPU temp does rise quickly and depending on what you're doing they can stay pretty hot so it's probably not something to be too worried about. Does seem a little high though.. maybe just let it sit for a while and see.

wouldn't worry mate, mine is above 85 most days when working hard.

Laptop TDP allows them to run to anything up to a frankly rediculous 105 degrees.

Thankyou all, when im just surfing the net it sits around 50c, the mac world is new to me ive always been windows with cooling vents on the bottom of laptops so find it unusual to see the macbook pro with only the exhaust vents when teh lcd hinges to the body.

It sucks cool air through the gaps where the keys are so there is air flow through the laptop

50'c seems about right for a CPU.

Good choice with the MBP by the way

there is an app (cant rememebr the name) which lets you control the fan speeds so it keeps it cooler

Yeah must admit i do love my MBP i always said i wouldnt have one until i bought my son one and when i used it i needed to buy one

No idea of the running temp but it's very hot where the MagSafe power cable connects.
