That's not bad, apple always overrates there battery life, but 4 to 5 hours websurfing and I'm happy.

Patience rewards the cautious: Every day, more considered reports emerge on the MB. For example, Peter Cohen has a very good opinion on 3D games and the MB, along with the gaming…

(From Apple service manual...) Step One: Step Two:

OMG, it's a CPU not a sandwich!

mmmm, core duo sandwich, yummy

That's what... about 10X too much?

buhaha. that's insane! And rather disconcerting considering I have a Macbook on the way

I'm not gonna order a MacBook sandwich until Apple figures out that it's putting too much mayo on it.

That's even more than "10x" too much. Thermal grease/paste is designed to smooth out minute ridges between surfaces; nothing more. All that's needed is an extremely thin layer, or…

Holy ****! That is horrible! What are they doing to that poor machine? That's not a f-ing sundae!!

Hmmm. Maybe this explains the little heat problem seen in this review?

Well, at least the MacBook looks like it's easy to take apart. Not a big huge deal to go and put some Arctic Silver or something on there instead.

obviously. machines aren't designed to crash every half hour. they leave the store models on all day. silly to review a defective product.

My macbook definitely has heat problems. This is the hottest laptop I have ever owned. I've built and tinkered with systems before, so I'm not too worried about simply opening it u…

Hello, the voice of reason here: Apple is one of the worlds biggest computer companies, and their machines are manufactured by some of the biggest fabricators in the world. Do yo…

Is the CPU soldered in? Kinda doesn't look like it from that pic. 'Course, I wouldn't really know either way.

No, I am the voice of reason: Yes, do NOT think they know what they are doing. It makes me laugh whenever I hear some Apple fanatic trying to defend Apple when they overdo the th…

And you don't find it at least somewhat puzzling that Apple hasn't heard about the problem, hasn't checked with their engineers why they don't know something apparently every 12 ye…

The sad part is that Apple is deliberately caking on all that thermal paste assuming that this will make their notebooks niiiice and coooool. How ironic. Considering that they …

OK, assuming you guys are right: Why doesn't Apple know? Why don't they care? It's their revenue and their rep that will suffer, why do they seem to not give a damn? And why do the…
