MacBook Pro - Gets Warm

Per the MacBook Pro User Guide:
"When you’re using your MacBook Pro or charging the battery, it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. For prolonged use, place your MacBook Pro on a flat, stable surface.
Do not leave the bottom of your MacBook Pro in contact with your lap or any surface of your body for extended periods. Prolonged contact with your body could cause discomfort and potentially a burn.
The bottom of the MacBook Pro case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. The bottom of the case is raised slightly to allow airflow that keeps the unit within normal operating temperatures. In addition, warm air is vented from the slots in the back of the case."
Please note: Do not place your laptop on a pillow, blanket, any item like these as it will not allow it to vent properly.

Few Tips/Tricks for your new MacBook Pro Laptop:

E-mail Outlook Web App: Keeping it open.  If you mark your e-mail for Private User when you log in, it should stay open through out the day.  Just be sure not to close the Browser or it will close your e-mail.

Right Click:  To do a right click on a Mac - please hold down the "Control" key then click your mouse or tracking pad. Make sure you have the cursor over the item you are wanting to Right Click on. Also, if you use 2 fingers to click on the tracking pad, rather than 1 finger, this will give you a right click.

Scrolling down using a tracking pad (mouse pad on laptop):  If you place 2 fingers on the tracking pad and slide down, it will scroll your screen.

If you want items you have open to display to the lower right of your doc bar when you reduce them down:
Go to the "Apple" in upper left hand corner, select "Dock", then "Dock Preferences".  Uncheck "Minimize windows into application icon".
(You can also go through "System Preferences" and select "Dock" to uncheck this setting.)

Seeing/Tabbing through Open Applications:
If you hold down the "Apple" key and hit the "Tab" key, your open applications will display, keep hitting your tab key and you will scroll through them.
