Laptops do just that--sit on your lap. And if they overheat, it's not only uncomfortable, but it can also lead to damaged components.<br />According to Business Insider, like any laptop, MacBooks can easily overheat if you're not careful. So make sure the air vents aren't blocked.<br />Instead of resting your MacBook right on your lap (or bedspread), set it on a book or laptop stand to keep the air circulating.<br />Also, open your MacBook up occasionally and clean out the dust. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the bottom panel and blow out any built-up crud.<br />Don't have too many programs running at once, or too many browser tabs open, which keeps MacBooks working too hard.<br />Finally, stay out of the sun!
