My Air runs cool 99% of the time, the only time it heats up is if I am downloading and installing a huge Apple update, or if I am adding a lot of huge files, such as copying a large video file etc.
but, even then the fans only come on for as long as that process lasts. I stream high def video over my network to the Air, and the fan does not come on... this is an 11in 2011 model.
