Looking forward to the follow up: How to Quickly Cool Down Your MacBook

Unironically, yes.

My M3 Macbook Pro's palm rests get uncomfortably warm during regular IDE use. It doesn't get hot enough to spin up a fan, but it is enough to be distracting.

  • interesting. for me only the bottom and the top part above the keyboard gets warm during my work. 16inch model. Is yours the 14inch one?

    • 14 inch, running primarily IntelliJ IDEA and Firefox. Around 10% CPU use most of the time, with of course the occasional spike for compilation.

      It's not hot, but with 22C ambient it is enough of a rise to be annoying.
