Mine certainly does... actually to the point of lightly burning my skin if I am using it on my lap wearing shorts etc.
Recently I downloaded smc Fan Control. It is a tiny but great free programme that lets you increa
se the minimum fan speed to make your mac book run cooler. It works like a charm and within minutes the mac is running cooler and no longer is a danger to me.Recently I have also added this application to my start up list so that it automatically loads when I start my computer. I am finding that setting the fan control to "higher RPM" is proving beneficial too.
Smc Fan Control now just runs seamlessly in the background and displays a reading of the temp and rpm that the fans are running at.
Sorry macbook... you're not so hot anymore :)
Thanks Rachel...I was having this problem too and using a very technical piece of equipment...2 post it pads under the back of my MacBook to lift it and assist in air circulation...this is much better ;-)
