No we kid you not - today Steve and his chums over at Apple held their hands and up said ‘yes sir we cocked up’. Well they didn’t actualy say that but you know you get the drift. It all came about as a result of people complaining their macbooks were running hot and had excessive fan use. Some users then noticed a small clear piece of plastic blocking the rear vents. People then starting talking about this discovery in blogs all over the internet and the rest, as they say, is history. Read on to hear what apple had to say.

Some MacBook computers may appear to be running too warm, with the fan running consistently and heat emanating from the top and/or the bottom of the computer.

If this happens with your MacBook, check the rear vent of the MacBook to make sure it’s not blocked.

Some MacBooks may have left the factory with a thin piece of clear plastic covering the rear vent. This is used in the factory to prevent dust from getting into your computer. If your MacBook has the plastic still over the vent, simply remove and discard it.
