Just google for "Macbook heat problems."
My old Inspiron 700m, which was covered under the warranty, had it's
battery stick out the back. It was a good 4" away from where the
processor is, and even farther from the hard drive. So I don't think
it's heat related.
Both the 700m and now the XPS M1210 that replaced it run cool enough for
me to not be bothered to have it on my lap.

I don't know how much I would believe that it's because the battery is
located too close to a heat source, since the new Apple notebooks are
well known for heat problems and none of them have toasted yet.
Well, I'm dealing with Dell laptop after Dell laptop that runs insanely
hot (too hot to put on one's lap after five minutes.) Never used an
Apple laptop, so I can't compare, but my Acer, while warm after 45
minutes of being on my lap, is still bearable.
