They pull air and push it out in different areas near the hinges. It's one of the features I rather enjoy. alt text

The appearance varies by model, but the concept is about the same. Though, the new MacBooks with Retina have air intakes on the sides. They still push air out through the hinges.

They also don't usually jet out a lot of air unless they are running and intensive application (iMovie, gaming, etc)

Do any models have problems with dust?

Over time all laptops get a little dust in them. It really depends on their environment. But mine is a year old and hasn't had too much dust.
