I run Windows 8.1 in Bootcamp on my late 2013 MBP.
Even after running for a while I have to place my ear directly on the palm rest in order to hear the fan. Even then it is very quiet. The machine does warm up some but that is because it is made of aluminum which transfers heat quite well.

I don't have Windows 8 or an MBA. I can tell you this, though: the fan on my Mac Mini rarely runs, and when it does, it is usually when I'm running a virtual machine of Windows. You will also find your battery life shortened when using Windows, most likely. Yes, modern macs all have USB3, but even if they didn't, your hub would just drop back to USB2 and still work.

Hello All,

I would like to know if others have experience their MBA or Macbook Pro getting warm when running Windows 8 in bootcamp. I'm not sure if thisis just normal because of the Windows side using more resources. I have an external drive and the Pearl camera plugged into the 2USB ports. Would this be why it's getting warm? Also, will the MBA handle a 3.0 USB hub? I haven't purchased one as of yet, but having to change the devices in and out of the ports is beginning to get old.

Thanks in advance for your input and advice.

Best,
Eileen
