From Extreme tech "We can state flatly that if you buy a system using Intel's GMA950 integrated graphics and want to play 3D games, invest at least $60 in an add-on card. If what …

little bit dissapointing. but it will be better with a second rev.

With the advances Intel's made, I don't have a problem with integrated graphics per se if you don't game at all. I don't like the price hike with that cut-price graphics chip thoug…

I don't know if there's much to complain about. Any Intel chip powering a "Mac" is an abomination. Remember, you guys wanted an Intel mini.

I don't think anyone can really comment on the GMA950 versus an ATI9200 until we actually 'test' them. Especially as they pertain to OS X First, let's not delude ourselves and gu…

I know they have no plans of making one currently, which is a drag. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks so... Has there ever been any successful Mac advocacy to have a game p…

Neverwinter Nights is made for the MAC. That's currently the best D&D game made, IMO.

Thanks, I'll give NWN a spin.

I got my 1.83GHz MacBook Pro just 3 days back and I can say with a bare 30 minutes of usage its getting pretty HOT....Its basically the bottom left hand side of the laptop. The top…

Unfortunately, it's normal for Apple laptops, and many others too, to get very hot underneath. It's been like that with almost every generation of G3 and G4 powerbooks and now also…

The aluminum case acts as a giant heatsink, spreading the heat from the CPU/chipset/GPU/CCFL out all over the bottom surface of the laptop. I prefer laptops which have plastic case…

I'm pretty sure from a photograph I saw posted that there is a direct connection via thermal paste from at least one of the major chips -- maybe the processor itself -- to the bott…

I had a Pentium3 500mhz before and it gets hot. For the most part, I think people will just have to deal with it because as computers get faster, it's only normal they get hotter.

The neat part about the macbook is that the hottest parts of it are the parts that you touch the least. That is unless you're resting the laptop on your legs. The power inverter a…

I had a thinkpad T40 1.6ghz centrino and it got warm, but never as hot as my powerbook G4 1.67.
