Hot Macbook

[llrickman]

is it normal for the bottom of my MacBook to get much hotter while ripping dvd's than at other times?

Thanks

Yes it's working much harder with all the rotations per minute of the disk spinning...Mark

That is also a very processor-intensive task. The other thing to keep in mind is that the aluminum casing acts as a heat-sink to dissipate the internal heat.
