Are the MBPs as hot as the original 1ghz Aluminum PB G4? Mine got so hot it would burn my wife's lap. She had to use a pillow (thus making it even worse).

Laptops have been pretty hot since about 1996, when I burned my legs with a P75 Dell laptop. I don't expect that to change--at least, certainly not until they stop using hard drive…

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 …

Apple and a lot of other manufacturers market their portable computers as notebooks not laptops. They never suggest you can use them on your lap for an extended time. Having a powe…

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…

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…
