[QUOTE="cRuNcHiE, post: 274291"] I just received my new MBP c2d today, its my first real mac, but ive played with osx86 before. I too am not too impressed to be honest, i reluctantly spent a lot more on getting a mac than i would for a pc lappy of the same spec yet there are a number of problems. Mine also had the fans ramp up to max until i rebooted, sure its ok now but seems a little weird, i was just browsing, nothing cpu intensive. My other main annoyance is the [B]wifi[/B]. The signal often seems to jump from full>nothing. My acer lappy in the same room has no problems, no matter what position in the room. The transfer speed across wifi even with full signal is abysmally slow on this MBP, copying a 30mb file from my NAS took six minutes, copying the same file on the Acer lappy next to it took about 10 seconds. Browsing the internet seems fine with no lag One of the speakers seems to have a slight crackle to it as well, it's not on full volume. Itunes, slow to load, extremely slow to load/play a song. Im temped to get parallells and install XP just for Winamp. Finder seems to keep crashing and force quit/relaunch does not work, i have to reboot to browse again. Firefox 2.0 does not close properly and says its still running when you alt-tab but no window comes up. Not impressed for a £1700 laptop. [/QUOTE]
