here is your handle
http://www.case-mate.com/laptop/17handleit
The only time mine gets real hot is when I have been doing a lot of
video work or I am using Fusion a lot.
Both really use the CPU so I would expect that.
Now heat is a subjective term so what is hot to one is not hot to
someone else.
Two items to help.
software:
Fan control

Fan pad

I use the FanControl software when it gets hot for me. I really don't
want to
drag around the Fan pad.

I forgot to ask: Is there a handle available for the 17: MacBook Pro?
I have one on my current MacBook and can't bear the thought of no
handle. I just know I'll drop it. I've googled it but can't tell for
sure if the handles mentioned are for the 17". Any information will
be appreciated.
one other thought/question related to the amount of heat given off by
the MacBook Pro. I'll probably use it on a desk (and my current
handle raises the rear of the computer which lets air flow beneath
it; expect the new handle to do the same). If my husband starts using
it I wonder if I should get one of these laptop fans I've seen
advertised. This dual fans fits underneath the computer. Anyone had
any experience with a fan?

I use a 17" MacBook Pro . What problems? None on my end I have
several Mac's and they are all networked together. I save to one
folder that is sync'ed all the time with the other Mac's so all
important info is spread out.
One thought on the MacBook/MacBook Pro is the video card the
integrated graphics of the MacBook would really have fun trying to
push a 30" monitor and graphic intensive programs also.
A 17" is really not that much heavier than a 15". I have use all the
current models of Mac laptop's. An for a day to day use machine I
love
the 17" model.
