    I use a podiumpad from roadtools.com.

    I use it with the stackable rubber bumpers in the front. That tilts my laptop up in the front, which is the proper way to type. Opposite from the way they show it on the site.

    Chances are, you will hear the fan more often. There seem to be some reported problems with Airs overheating (and the fan stubbornly refusing to switch on), causing one CPU core to shut down or even the system to freeze. Apple is addressing this problem with this update.
