How come other Manufacturers don’t have an issue with heat??

[QUOTE="VakeJ, post: 215309, member: 8283"] I believe it was the macrumors website, which had an article pertaining to the thermal paste. They reapplied the thermal paste, and it didn't have a dramatic impact on the ovearll temp. I think it went down about 2 degrees. I guess this is true. But people have been complaining about heat with 17" MBP's as well. That's a pretty big case.... I'm sure this is true, but I guess people aren't accustomed to these type of issues with a mac. I'm still a bit astonished that other manufacturers use the same chip, but don't have the same heat issue. It's a bit puzzling. Maybe it's more than just the cpu...who knows... :blind: To be honest, with the multiple complaints (this forum and others), I've decided to hold off to rev. B of the macbook. It's very painful to sit here and see pics of everyone's macbook :p I would get [B]extremely[/B] pissed spending $1100+ and having a notebook with some of the issues mentioned... [/QUOTE]
