My MBP gets so hot underneath that it burns my fingers.
But I have found the perfect low-tech solution to it.
It's a thing called "Lapinator" which costs about $25 and is a very well thought out simple solution. It insulates the bottom of my laptop so the surface underneath barely gets warm at all. And it still gives some air circulation to the laptop too.
I have no connection with them at all, I'm just a very happy customer.
The standard one is plenty big enough for a 17" MBPro.
