Hi, Probably. Macbooks run quite hot especially the white plastic ones, and I've seen the white ones run on full fan throttle with just Safari and Mail open if they are not on a good conductive surface. I've also seen a lot of dust build up in the cooling slots of the white ones, and on one, I've seen a bad battery cause extra heat when connected via AC adapter. If you have a friend with the same computer, try swapping batteries for a day to see if that makes any difference. But in general, I'd say it's common. --Scott
