fail. macs are all form and no function.

why make it cool when we can make it pretty.

Ah. Yet another strategy to get apple consumers to buy another machine even faster.

icedbullet · 26 Apr 2010 at 20:02

It is so pretty *swoons*

100c and no Fermi in sight, shocker

Mine gets to around 70c maximum.. but hardly a surprise.. they essentially use the bottom plate as a heatsink. Going off the reviews though, these seemed to be a slight improvement of the previous MBPs for that.

That is pretty hot, but to be fair I'd rather have the form of the MacBook that is fine 95% of the time than a big bulky plastic laptop that doesn't make a meal of benchmarks.

oh my, a pc troll in the mac forum.

quickly, i know you can't hear it over your massively loud pc fans, but one of your cold cathodes has set the carpet on fire!

Wrong. MacBook Pro CPU reaches 100 °C. If the MacBook Pro casing reached 100 °C you'd get some really nasty burns.

Anyway 100 °C is well within the specs of the CPU so stop trolling and go away.

My 2007 2.4Ghz 15" hits 100C too. Although it could just be dust build up as it used to only hit 90C!

The 1.83GHz Core Duo in my MBP used to regularly hit 95C. It's no great shakes.

fail hur hur fail i feel threatened by macs because apple get a lot of press and i don't know how to use the os

Hmm I dunno, 100C really is hot. It surely must be reaching the thermal limit.

Nope. It's at least 105... at which point the processor will throttle back until it cools down.

Hmm.. my MBP3,1 nVidia 8600M GT would unsolder itself if I left it to cook!

I use smcFan religiously. Current temps 46degC. I get worried when it's at 70.. sometimes it gets to 80s.

^^ someone should really just point out bootcamp all ways scorches my knees... (same on my mates older mbp with 8600gt)

I do like the traditional pc magazine immature tone of ZOMG ITS BAD IN THIS ONE SITUATION THAT I CREATED!!! ZOMG!!! Im pretty sure like any normal company apple have investigated the heat levels from the new i7 before making the product

Seemingly the Fujitsu wasn't an I7 which just makes PC advisor look like incompetent fools.

Was this posted outside the Apple forums or are the Trolls just hungry today?

Trolls were hungry. They appear to have eaten and crawled back into their lair.
