Air gamers, how's the heat?

been lookin around today @ air i5 & i7s running games - quite impressive.

how's heat though? game on macbook pro 13inch 2010 @ moment (my 15inch mbp dead) , time have problems when running 2 instances of game (like multi-boxing on mmo example). problem isn't processor or graphics card.. run decent enough playable.. heat. gets hot.. throttles down , fps dies. can solve homemade cooling (icepacks under it) it's hassle.

luckily don't multibox often, or play right now, again in future , future looks macbook air 15 or 17 inch if rumors believed. sound of that. more fast enough work on , lighter too.

i'm worried heat. if mbp 13 inch , 15inch got hot started slow down, air surely must worse.

anyway, sorry wall of text - figured air owners run games best guys ask. i've never used i5 or i7 machine.. core 2 duos..

 

this goofy response question but, hardest i've driven 13" i5 diablo 3 , heat heat comes near 'esc' key, corner. i've got fingers on 1-5 keys , i'll feel little bit of warmth there, if move fingers 'up' keyboard towards fn keys gets extremely hot. goofy response because, , kind of touch area while i'm playing fun.

goofy that, heat on left side, notice left hand start sweat after long periods of computing, , right won't.

overall though believe gets less hot of myriad mbp's i've owned including latest generation.

note mba seems cold easily. if it's sitting on table , put on lap it'll freezing cold touch against knees or whatever. weird. built ice in

love mba...
