On Monday, Apple issued the "SMC Update 1.0" for the MacBook Air. You might ask, "what the heck is SMC?" Well, SMC stands for the System Management Controller, a chip on the laptop's motherboard responsible for power management.

According to Apple,"The SMC Update fine tunes the speed and operation of the internal fan."

Apple released this update because owners have been complaining of overheating issues with Macbook Airs.
