[QUOTE="heymynamesrick, post: 1256149, member: 205540"] Hi all, I just bought a new MBP and read that the Max storage temp is 113F. My 2008 Dell Inspiron 1420 was rated up to 140F. We all know heat can be bad for any and all electronics, but I'm curious as to why a $600 Dell can handle more heat than a $3k Mac (at least on paper). I have three theories: 1. Dell is wrong/careless. 2. Macs really are more sensitive. 3. Apple quotes a lower Max storage temp to be safe and help lower warranty claims. Anyone have any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
