[QUOTE="edge, post: 214476"] Really, this sort of thing is to be expected. Apple is dealing with new hardware, completely new builds of their notebooks, etc. You don't think Dell, HP, IBM, etc, have ever had problems when switching to new hardware types? Only a year ago, I had to send back boxes upon boxes of dell AC adapters on recall, because they were prone to overheating and catching on fire. And that's not even the computer system, just the AC adapter. I think the problem stands out more because Apple has a more narrow range of prodcts (which is a good thing) than say, Dell, or HP. I still intend to purchase a MacBook, however, I'm not afraid of opening up the system to re-apply thermal paste if that becomes necessary. [/QUOTE]
