Is your MacBook getting hotter than a summer day at North Beach? Overheating can slow things down and even damage your machine. Before you rush to get it fixed, try these easy steps!

1. **Check Your Surroundings:** Make sure your MacBook is on a hard, flat surface. Soft surfaces like blankets or pillows block ventilation.
2. **Clean the Vents:** Dust buildup is a HUGE culprit. Use a can of compressed air (you can grab one from most electronics stores in Wollongong) to gently blow out the vents, especially on the back hinge and sides.
3. **Activity Monitor is Your Friend:** Open Activity Monitor (search for it using Spotlight) and see which apps are hogging the most CPU. Close any unnecessary resource-intensive programs.
4. **Keep Your macOS Updated:** Software updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes that can help with overheating.
5. **Consider a Cooling Pad:** If you’re constantly pushing your MacBook hard, a cooling pad can provide extra airflow. You can find these at local tech retailers.

If you’ve tried these and your MacBook is still scorching, it might be a more serious hardware issue. Don’t risk making it worse!
