Greetings Mac faithfuls,
I finally took the plunge and ordered an iMac, macbook air, and a macbook pro. I decided to keep the pro because it was transportable and powerful...the best of both worlds...BTW..I LOVE MACS!!!!!!! Anyway, I sold the macbook air and have the imac on ebay, and I bought a 32 inch Sharp Aquos 1080p TV with a DVI in and I hook my Macbook pro into when I'm in my office. I love the huge display but the native res is 1920x1080 instead of 1920x1200, so I lose a little clarity and the standard display ratio is 16x9 instead of a computers 16x10, so it doesn't fill the screen. But, I can hook up Directv to it via hdmi and watch blu ray on it so I sacrificed a little size and clarity for functionality. Okay, enough with my Mac testimony. My question is this...I can use my laptop for hours at a time plugged in and as you all know the macbok pros get unusually hot. Are these prolonged sessions bad for the battery or the hardware? And do "cooling" apparatus like fan pads and others work at all?? Thanks in advance for your time in responding to this.
