Applehas been getting a lot of heat (no pun intended) for the MacBook's supposed temperature problems. One review of the product even said that, it gives up after 30 minutes of use. Consumers are pointing to too much application of thermal grease as the culprit.

Thermal grease (also called thermal compound or thermal paste) is a substance used to help the conduction of heat between two (usually metal) surfaces. In electronics, it is often used to aid the thermal dissipation of components via a heatsink.

Apple claims that the normal operating temperature ranges from 45 to 60 degree Celsius. But Apple users cited that their MacBooks reached temperatures of up to 85 degrees making it too hot to touch.

There has been a lot of debate whether Apple overdid it on the thermal paste or not. I guess it all boils down to a difference in opinion. So you be the judge.
