[QUOTE="Banshee365, post: 1248120, member: 193330"] That's Celcius. My 4 year old thinkpad runs way cooler running Skype than our brand new top of the line MBP. I'm guessing it's running so hot because it actually has the power to process all of the high quality streaming video and my thinkpad may not even bother with some of it. We tried google video chat and the CPU runs around 65 degrees C with that but the quality is a bit worse. I'm also wandering if the windows version of Skype allocates CPU resources better than the Mac version. I've read some complaints that the mac version needs some work. [/QUOTE]
