The first two developed battery and/or electrical problems. I'm hoping third time's the charm. The heat problem, which was so intense when the MacBook was first introduced, went away for me after the SMC firmware update. Mine has been running hotter again since security update 2006-007. No, I'm afraid I don't know what the solution is. I’ve had to return two black MacBooks so far. The first two developed battery and/or electrical problems. I’m hoping third time’s the charm.

And no, it’s not because I have a battery from the exploding series, I checked. It’s not just the battery that gets hot, it’s the whole unit. You can’t really hold it in your lap as you’d toast yourself. And it’s just annoying. When I need a heater, I use a heater, I don’t need a stupid laptop to heat my room."</i> Check out Jaanus Kase’s post on the Mac Book at http://www.jaanuskase.com/en/2006/12/switch_ergonomics_and_hardware.html where he says:
