I'm sure that's the case, but the IBM also comes with a three year warranty and has been proven to be incredibly reliable hardware wise so it doesn't seem that the internals are be…

Are they made of aluminum? Is that better than titanium? Titanium wouldn't get as hot, I'd think. But maybe it's good for the heat to disperse through something. Anyone know wh…

Check your CPU usage via the activity monitor. Chances are the computer is indexing. Let it index for a while. It should cool down.

Carbon fibre would be better I think. Metals can be dented or scratched rather easily.

Laptop heat can also be a function of what the laptop is sitting on. For example, some desks have laminate tops that heat up quickly and actually cause your laptop to retain a lot…

We reviewed the MacBook Pro on our site. We found that the heat is only disturbing to some who use a laptop literally on their lap. It's not much hotter than the 12" PowerBook whic…

Do all the MBP's have the heat problem? or is it the ones with a faster HD or the fastest processor? In the reveiws I read, there wasn't any mention of the heat being abnormal.

I'm having the same experience.... so you're not alone... I just bought a USB fan... we'll see if this will help... thing is when you're mobile with no power source around... you…

I really dont see the heat being such a huge problem. My pb g4 gets astoundingly hot on late night wc3 lan parties, as in having it on my (covered) legs causes severe discomfort an…

I have the 2.0GHz MacBook Pro. My last laptop was an 800MHz G3 iBook. The MacBook Pro does get warmer than the iBook, but not by much. It certainly has never gotten too hot for me …

I was playing an HD video on a MBP for ~10 minutes and it got RIDICULOUSLY hot underneath...much hotter than my old 1.5ghz 15" G4 PB ever got. The entire back area underneath wher…

Do you think it is possible that some of these computers are actually getting hotter than others, or is it just a difference of opinion as to what is considered HOT?

Quote: Originally Posted by aristotles It's probably the latter. Nah, I disagree. I'm not bitching, but it's the hottest I've used. On the G4 laptop side, I've owned a 5…

400 and 550Mhz PowerBook were way hotter than MacBook Pro.

The question is whether Apple can do anything about? I think it really has become an issuse, especially for thos of us who type and write a lot and those who actually need to use t…

There seems to me, looking around the threads, to have been some variation with fan performance on MacBooks. If the fans are slow to power up, that will inevitably cause trouble. …

I really think those of you who are complaining about heat should check the activity monitor in Utilities to see if there is a process hogging the CPU. I've heard that the Frontrow…
