I hear a fan coming on and my MacBook Pro seems to get quite warm. Is that OK?
As your MacBook Pro operates, it’s designed to keep itself within safe thermal limits.
The fan comes on and stays on to keep the MacBook Pro operating at normal
temperatures. The bottom of your MacBook Pro can become warm because it’s
designed to let heat dissipate through the case. This is normal. For more information,
see “Using Your MacBook Pro” on page 107.
