Running hot?

My girlfriend keeps unplugging my Airport Express N because it's "hot". While it is definitely on the high side of warm, I don't consider it to be much of a danger. It's not like you'd burn yourself touching it.

Does everyone's run the same way?

Mine is always on what I would call the hot side.

Mine is hot too, I read that the body of the device is designed to be the heat sink. Both it and the timecapsule talk about it in one of the included manuals which can be viewed support.apple.com­/manuals­/­#airport

Yeah.

I have the g-Express and the n-Express. Both run hot. I don't think it is a problem.

It's normal, and nothing compared to the Apple TV's case temp. Apple likes quiet products = passive cooling = use body/skin as heatsink.
