Apple yesterday released a statement on its support site that discusses about the newly released family of MacBook – not to be confused with the MacBook Pro. I guess most of you know the heating problem which every MacBook Pro users are facing. The devices became extremely hot and consequently locked up during normal use. Many MacBook owners who took a closer look at their units however, found that the rear vents of the units had been blocked by a thin piece of plastic.This cause the hot air from within the units could not escape. More info after the jump.

Apples statement is the following:

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 its 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.
