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

[QUOTE="Stephen G, post: 215325, member: 9826"] Most other brand laptops have always-running fans. Between my iBook, an IBM T30, an IBM T43, and a Compaq laptop.. the iBook is the quietest by far. I can go to bed with my iBook on, without hearing anything. My external hard drives are louder than my iBook. All 3 other laptops very much make their presence known to various degrees (loudest being Compaq, by FAR). And heat issues? Have you seen those under-laptop USB-powered fan tray units sold in stores? There's a good reason for them. My sister's Compaq pretty much requires one, I swear it should have been included in the package. One of the guys in my class this semester had a Dell which such overheating issues he actually carried that USB fan tray with him at all times and set it up even in class. Keep in mind I have NOT dealt with MBP's or MB's, but this is just statements of comparison of what the other brands have to offer. [/QUOTE]
