Okay, I just received my MBP (2.33 C2D, 15inch) through a "configure to order" through CompUSA.
First of all, this thing is beautiful. When I turned down the lights and the keyboard lit up, I stood open mouthed for a good few seconds.
The very first task I put this thing to was installing Diablo 2 because I had an urge to play. I noticed it took waaay longer to install than on Windows, but that's alright. I was also a little sad to see it wouldn't run under hardware rendering, so I have to use software rendering.
My question though is about the Superdrive...it seems like a great thing but I swear it seems like it's not working correctly.
Is it NORMAL to have to push the disc in almost ALL the way in before the drive takes in the disc? I have to put mine in to the point where maybe an inch is still out of the drive, and then it takes the disc. It also makes a couple loud clacking noises, like a gear clicking, and and then will "rev" up and down a few times before anything happens.
Hopefully that is normal behavior.
Also, I read somewhere someone recommended a program that helped to control the fans in the MBP, what program was it? I never expected the heat to be what it is...I've been using a HP laptop for over a year and the heat was only kinda bad around the fans.
