Hello,
Recently I was thinking about getting a new Macbook Pro 13" or 15". So, I did some research to make sure that this was really as glamorous and it appeared on the Mac Website. To my dismay, I found several problems (Most of which have been fixed) but the main one, that is still occurring as far as I know, is the overheating problem. Some cases have gotten temps up to 90°C+, and that kind of scares me. Right now, I own a Macbook and I have owned one for 4 years. I have seen youtube videos of the Macbook running games such as Modern Warfare 2 very well, and not getting insanely hot, but it seems that this is a fairly common problem among the 2011 Pros. This is really making me wonder weather the investment toward a new laptop like this is worth it over say a PC, or a new Macbook.
So my question is,
With the heating problem still existing, is it worth getting a new 2011 15" 2.0GHz Macbook Pro if I am planning to be running applications and games such as Flash, Photoshop, After Effects, Minecraft, and basic programs (Browsers, I-Tunes, etc.)
I would prefer to use my laptop as a laptop and not a frying pan. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. If this problem is getting fixed or is already fixed (I don't know) That would be nice to know.
