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.
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
my MBA gets warm now and then too, but I don't think that's a problem. I also
run windows, but in a VM in Fusion. Don't worry about it unless it gets
frequent and extreme.

For those who have responded, thanks. I will keep an eye on it. I am on the Mac
side as I respond to this email and it is only slightly warm, but everything is
warm and hot here. Thanks again.

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.
