I have the late 2008 model MBPro and the only time it gets hot on my bare legs and the fan comes on, is when I'm streaming flash video or playing with x-plane with Zoom turned on. I though about one of those lap stands but don't know how much I really need it.

However, if I only run the Mac then I have a cool Mac. I have the 13 inch Macbook Pro purchased last year. Kawal.
