[QUOTE="Dark Matter, post: 213153, member: 9624"] iBrad, I had the same thing happen to me. I really liked the MBP, just has I was crazy about my Powerbook G4 before it. However, I found that "whine" sound to be very annoying after a while. I wasn't so much that it was so loud, but the frequency or pitch of it just got on my nerves. I ended up returning it, and yes, I did have to go through the "normal operating conditions" bit. I got a hold of customer service though, and told them I'd have to get my credit card company to get my money returned as it was a defective product. Apple ended up refunding my credit card. As far as the heat issue goes, I didn't find that such a big deal ( on mine at least). I know from my previous Powerbook that aluminum cases can get hot. What I've ended up doing is ordering myself a Macbook, and, someday when it's all sorted out, I'll sell it and get myself another Macbook Pro. I just think that for the price you pay for a MBP it ought to not have an issue like the "whine". [/QUOTE]
