I need to know if Macs support ASM. This is some type of code a programer used to write one of his programs. Hes willing to try for a mac if it isn't to much trouble and wants to k…

Er…ASM is shorthand for assembly language. It's totally processor-dependent. So while you can write a Mac program in assembly, whether or not that will run on a given box depends o…

not all of it is in asm. he has c and c++ in it as well. but i know those are mac compatible so i was just worried about asm. So what you are saying is it will depend on what proce…

If he's converting from one processor's assembly to another, he'll most likely have some issues converting the assembly code. C/C++ is relatively processor independent.

Unfortunately, the only real response to "Do Macs support ASM" is "which one?" Every processor has its own form of assembly language, and it is usually very hard to port ASM code w…

Hey guys... I picked up a Macbook Pro last week, and was thrilled to finally get my hands on one at the local dealer. I took it home and was quite impressed with the overall perf…

My MBP gets warm to be sure, but I've not found it too hot to use on my lap, which I do on a regular basis.

Note that the aluminium enclosure acts as a heat sink, which is (a) why it gets so hot and (b) why you should not rest the computer on a pillow or something which will hinder circu…

I've had my mbp for about a week now and I have noticed that it does indeed get very hot. I wear jeans most of the time and I have never found it too hot to be on my lap (and im a…

I recently went to the Apple Store and fiddled with a MacBook Pro. After about 15 minutes of PhotoBooth and Safari, I found the MacBook to pretty cool on the top, but the bottom r…

I hate to have to agree. A few weeks ago I went to the Apple store to look at them and didn't feel too impressed coming from the next-to-last generation powerbook. since then i've …

I've never been able to have my titanium on my lap for any stretch of time because it gets too hot. I've always used a hardcover book that the same size as the laptop, but there a…

For those of us who type and write a lot, having a toasty warm keyboard is not nice at all. Who wants to have sweaty palms while working? I would have gone ahead with my order toda…

"The very name "laptop" suggests that it can be used comfortably on one's lap. Apple and every other manufacturer know that people use notebooks this way and expect that they stay …

I have never noticed heat when typing. Normal use does not get hot (at least on top) so typing does not give you sweaty palms. The only time my MBP gets really hot is under intens…

the heat issue is why I'll probably get a plastic ibook when they come out with intel chips, to avoid the aluminum enclosure which I just don't like. I just hope apple does someth…
