Re: [MacBook] watching movies
My movies are 1080p at least the non Netfix movies are. I have no idea what the Netflix streaming movies are. My tiny MacBook air sits on my bed so it's air circulation is probably not as good as it would be if I sat it on a book, using that as a hard stand. I've a slight hearing loss but I don't hear any fan noise. Depending on how long it takes me to get to sleep it can play as many as three movies in a row. So far I have not had problems. I have the smallest air they made. Looks like about 11 inch screen. I bought it from my tech a year or so ago. I only just started using it a few months ago simply at night for movies. I don't use it for anything else and only at night when I am ready to go to sleep.guess I'm lucky I never hear a fan. Sure is tiny to hold a fan.
