I used the T40 for several months last summer when the weather was hot and the fan was almost inaudible. Because I often work in quiet environments, I'm very sensitive to noise so …

not really saying anything new here, I saw/played with the macbook for the first time yesterday at tekserve in nyc and the first thing I thought was: wow, is this sucker HOT. secon…

I've had mine (2.0GHz) on my bare lap and have not been inconvienienced in the least. Sure, it's slightly hot to touch....but not scolding hot by any strech on the imagination. And…

I have yet to hear the fans on my MBP. When I first got it, it ran really hot, so I have a slab of aluminum at work and an aluminum clipboard I put it on at home. It doesn't seem t…

I was going to purchase either a MBP or T60p, and I went with the T60p, mainly because of heat issues. That thing gets way, way, way too hot for a pro notebook, and I've checked s…

It makes me cringe to see the whines coming about heat, which is mainly a factor when under extreme long use or heavy processor demand. The MBP fluctuates from slightly warm to ho…

here's the lap protection that everyone needs ('course it's sized for a 12" and needs to be a little bit wider for the MBP, but you get the idea). It's an acrylic EZ-Lap, with a fr…

A lot of it also stems on what you're doing with the laptop. When I first got my MBP, I would have described it as "quite warm, and hot to the touch in places." Over the last wee…

My 1.83GHz MBP is considerably warmer than my 1GHz Ti PB. However, I did watch a DVD in bed last night and was not bothered by the heat. Very warm yes, hot...not. No loud fan…

Anyone doing this with an iMac? I'd like to hear about it. Spressa, Que, whatever. Thanks.

I recently bought the Que rwcd rom and it is fantastic no problem at all. get it you will not regret it it also comes in translucent colors to match your imac. It also retail for a…

Hi Boondoggle Yes, I too got my Que CD-R/W two days ago. It's a very cool design, works better for gaming than my DVD-ROM in my B/W G3 (due to spin up/down pain of DVD-ROM drive).…

Add me to the list of happy Que! users. It's my first CD-RW so I'm just getting the hang of things, and so far it has been plenty easy to use. My only complaint is the rather "ov…

I'm considering buying a que cdrw and since you all have such great things to say about it would appreciate if any of you would email me and tell me what i can expected from the qu…

I own the Que drive and wanted to say that I was disappointed with it's reliability and function. Did you know that you can't burn audio CDs at 4 speed? I called Tech support and…

I purchased a Sony USB Spressa Drive I have not lost a CD-R or RW yet. There are some differences between the Que drive like using 4x Writing to CD-R discs approximately 20 minute…

I first purchased the Sony USB CD-RW and found the drive to be great yet the software was totally lacking in capabilities. (burning video CD's for example) Was hoping that Adaptec…
