Hey guys,

I'm currently sitting in the sofa, surfing the interwebs over my dad's wifi-network (not n, the previous one, b I believe?) while charging my battery, and I noticed my lap started to get hot so I checked iStat Pro. The CPU is at 52°C, but it's the Airport card that's at 70°C. Is this normal?
I never noticed having this problem at home, on my n-network, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the network that's to blame of course, could just be coincidence.

to me, that seems ridiculously high. even 70* farenheight is relatively warm.
