[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 1064176, member: 96273"] Well, the i5 and i7 architectures do run fairly hot, but at the same time, the new MacBook pros aren't that loud when the fans are running. The unibody design helps with that. At least, I don't mind the noise when my fans are going at 4000ish rpm on my 2GHz core 2 duo. This is of course with me assuming that your old MacBook Pro isn't the unibody model (black keys rather than silver keys). The chips run hot, but are rated for much higher temperatures. Also progress in the area of flash getting hardware acceleration in OS X and the advancement of HTML5 as a standard (and the process of it maturing) will lead to less CPU cycles for every day use. This should lead to a quiet machine with a ton of power. [/QUOTE]
