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.

Hi, Just food for thought. Unless one purchases a 17 inch PC laptop, a numpad is not included in the keyboard layout on the PC side either. (Maybe OT). Hence, I have to use a USB external numpad. Because I have Win8 installed in bootcamp, I have plugged in a full USB keyboard, with a numpad.
