Macbook Core i7 overheats, a laptop you can't put on your lap!

[IOWA]

Hydrocarbon fuel cell? 600 degrees Celsius. Large Hadron Collider? -271 degrees. Microwave drill? 2,000. Your run of the mill Core i7 MacBook Pro can't compete with these extreme temperatures, but that won't keep it from burning your lap. PC Authority recently put the latest edition of Apple's sleek silver classic through a series of torture tests, and found that running Cinebench could cause the CPU temperature to climb over 100 degrees Celsius. The metal shell proved ineffective at dissipating the heat as well as the similarly equipped Fujitsu Lifebook SH760, which finished the same test at 81 degrees, and actually required PC Authority to run the MacBook Pro on its side (see pic above) to complete certain tests. The site thinks that Apple's cooling solution may be inadequate for a Core i7, but these results could be a fluke -- in our experience with the machine, we actually noticed an improvement over the egg-cooking solutions of yesteryear.

This one is too easy to pick on... I'l leave it be.

I reported this whole thread. Constantly posting with the only intent to bash a product is indeed trolling.

What's your post about HP Slate about? I sensed a whole post just to bash the HP Slate. I mean... the title is even "Why the HP Slate will fail"

It's only tolling if you bash Apple. Bashing anything else is ok

 

[momoceio]

No one bashed the MBP...just stated that is has a severe overheating issue. Don't read it...

Ok, so saying it will fail because of its hardware is bashing and trolling? So you are admitting then that you and all your buddies have been bashing and trolling the iPad then eh? Cool, my plan worked perfectly troll. Thanks

Your "plan"? lol You don't make plans. IOWA posted up an actual source of a problem that is happening with Macbook Pros and he's the one trolling? Even though you made several mistakes, that you refuse to owe, and still continue to say negative things about the HP Slate? We're all trolls in one way or another. You're just an excellent one.

Apple know that most men don't know that Wi-Fi can make you infertile and are therefore doing humanity a favour by making laptops unable to be put on laps - how kind of them
