My Mac is getting hot very fast, and the fan is loud.

Hello,

I got my MacBook Air, around one year ago and a three months ago. I use it for school, and to surf on regular websites. Sometimes I watch movies on it as well. It has worked fine the first year, but now as soon as I have used it for about 15 min the fan starts and is very loud (sounds like a big old PC!) and it gets very hot quickly. I dont have any insurance, and since its been over a year I cant take it back to the store for them to fix it for free. So what can I do that doesnt cost a fortune?

(I am not very good with computers and technology, fyi) :)

Thankful for answers!

Well the best thing to do is to take it to apple and ask them how much it would be to fix and what the problem is. If its to much then you know what the problem is and can fix it your self.

Hope this helps,
