[QUOTE="guydm, post: 9337"] [b]12" "Africa Hot"[/b] I installed "Temperature Monitor" version 1.31 in my first-generation 12" Powerbook (867MgHz, 640 RAM, Superdrive). Current temp: 127.9 Fahrenheit Average seems to be about 120-130 for normal office type apps. Video and graphics push it easily into the 140s Record was very close to 150 using the Fluid Effects Screensaver. This machine is nearly unusable, IMO. It will soon be replaced with a new 15" as I have to hold out hope that Apple has addressed the heat issue with it's newer models. [/QUOTE]
