Normal Idle Temperatures?


what kind of temperatures guys getting when mba either idle or running light load?

new mba 11" seems idling around 60 degrees celsius, seems bit hot not doing - safari (no flash - 5 tabs), mail, xcode (with open project, no building or debugging), , terminal (also not doing anything). 15" mbp doing same tasks running @ 40 degrees celsius.

might little hotter because of mail , dropbox, mail seems still creating search index , dropbox downloading files...so maybe more of medium load. guess see once both of them finished doing.

guys getting lower temps when doing basic tasks?

understand mbp has lot better airflow, worse on air?
 

idling computer leaving on desktop, on, without having running. stretch mean having word document open well, or small, true meaning is: leave computer idle.

left multiple programs open, multiple tabs in safari, , project open on xcode. had terminal open. going leave temperature of around 60 celcius. that's normal.

idle temperatures (true idle) vary more depending on ambient temperature of environment, how long ago booted computer (or if came on sleep). whether computer sitting on lap matters (quite obvious suppose). true idle temperatures in range of 40 50 celcius, staying in mid 40's.
