[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 881015, member: 56379"] Agreed...nothing is ever perfect...and new products or new generations of current products when redesigned can always develop a problem that wasn't there before. My main argument is...if a product like the Mac-Mini did (and it doesn't) have an overheating issue...it most likely would have shown up in the first generation. This is because the Mac Mini & it's new form factor was brand new. No matter how much product abuse testing a company does...the true test is when millions of consumers get hold of your product...and do things to it that the company never dreamed of. Since Mac Mini's with their new form factor have been out in the hands of consumers for 4.5 years at this point & it's 5th generation (without any over-heating issues). That's a pretty good track record for such a small electronic component packed heat generating device. If I was a betting man...I would go with the historical statistics...and bet that Mac Mini generation #6 and #7 will also be free of any over-heating issues. - Nick [/QUOTE]
