Does it increase the temperature of the macbook pro?

I've used it for over a year and never had an over-heating issue. The computer gets warm when gaming or video editing, with or without the case on. I've never compared the actual temperature difference, but it seems to be insignificant.

I have not noticed any difference. I have my MBPr running all day at work (with the lid closed) and have it plugged into a thunderbolt dock and I never hear the fans kick in. At the end of the day when I unplug it and pick it up it doesn't feel any warmer than it did before I got the case.

No. I usually have it on my lap. Only time fans come on with a vengeance is when I'm compressing video. I've been very happy w/it.

I have a MacBook Pro so don't have this issue - I suppose you could but then you would seem to be defeating purpose of the armrest which is to keep the computer cool.

I would say it does. It also makes the air about 10 degrees cooler underneath.

unless your experenceing extreme heat (180F+) you have nothing to worry about the macbook pro's processors throw off some heat, currently I'm at 113F just on http://amazon.com. If the heat bothers you i suggest smc Fan control free software works great! but the computer's motherboard, logic board, processor, hard drive, ram all is constructed to withstand heats well above 180F i personally have had my mac up past 200 degrees that i7 loves to get hot but the fans do a good job at maintaing an ok temp so all in all in your fine dude.

I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro and am not pleased with the Antec. You know how hot the Macbook gets... the Antec at best acts as a shield between you and your lap/tabletop- the cooling is left up to chance.

No. Your Macbook Pro requires RAM running at 1066mhz... This RAM runs at 1600...

I have an Apple Laptop and have not had any heat issues while using this LapDesk.

No. Your laptop WILL overheat. This is the reason I stopped using mine. My Macbook Pro got excessively hot just below the screen because the exhaust/vents are covered by this case. There are no holes or vents in this case. Excessive heat like that will shorten the life of your laptop.

First, the fan should be 13" as I am using it on a 13" MacBook Pro. I have no idea what the RPM is as I have not seen it. I have had the Thermaltake for over a year. I "think" I went to the Thermaltake web site for a more detailed analysis of the specs. I would suggest you do the same. Google it. Second, I could not be happier with the performance of the cooling! Quality product, light in weight, angle adjustable. It does not seem to drain the laptop battery. I would buy it again and again! Ready to go out of the box.

Mine doesn't. The battery isn't hot in the least. The laptop is very warm near the battery; nothing new however.

I wish it did. My wife is not thrilled with the change temperature process; Locate iPhone, log into the website & electronically adjust the temperature.

I don't use my MBP for gaming, but I do use it for processor-intensive video editing, for hours at a time. FWIW, I haven't encountered any heat-related issues when using the mTower with an separate Lightning display.

it ventilates well enough, that the mac doesn't overheat. except on certain surfaces for example, on top of clothing or quilts it may begin to heat just bit.

Mine does not. I have a 15 inch retina mbp. But I think if you were doing serious video editing or gaming it my get pretty warm. But for general use throughout the day, I do not experience any overheating issues. If I'm about to really give my labtop a work out I take it out of the case an set it on top of the case.

It may work, but I took the one I bought out because it ran so much hotter I needed a new fan as well. I didn't want to put that much money into my old computer. It did speed up the machine! But now I have a MacBook Pro and I smile every day in gratitude. It flies! It's easier and no hassles with software not working or virus stuff.

Btw. Mine is a pro, not a plain MacBook. I don't know if that makes a difference
