    I own a macbook pro unibody 2,53 and im experiencing temperatures (using the big graphic card) at arround 70-72C while just using my browser.

    Is this a normal idle temperature with the high gfx card enabled?

    Laptop is on a desk.

    Best regards
    Kasper

    But systems can run slightly warmer, sometimes, dependent on the room temp they're in -- what's the ambient temp when you're getting these temps?
