Hello:
I’m REALLY tempted to purchase the macbook, but since the release of the macbook pro there has been a lot of criticism with Apple’s notebooks. I stop by this forum a couple times a week, and there are just tons of threads of noisy macbook pros, and heat issues.
Other manufacturers are utilizing the core duo chips (Dell, Levono, etc). I find it interesting that “heat/over-heating" does not seem to be an issue with their machines.
Some have mentioned the over abundance of thermal paste could be the culprit. There are a few supporters of this notion, but others have valid arguments against it as well.
Curious as to why other manufacturers don’t seem to have a heat issue similar to Apple notebooks. A colleague of mine has a core duo dell, and it runs about the same temp as my IBM T41 (1.6MHz).
