Hi guys,
Been on my Macbook Pro for about two weeks now and I love it. It's a 15" i7 with the hi-res glossy display.
Right now I have several windows open in Chrome, each with several tabs, iTunes is playing a file, Word is running in space #2, and MAME OS X is populating its list. iStat shows CPU @ 71 and fans were approaching 3500 RPM. Also, the bottom of the laptop is pretty hot. The real kicker is that I'm using a Targus laptop rest with dual fans.
Is this heat/fan speed normal? These apps don't seem too demanding in the scheme of things so I'm concerned about the prospect of running more demanding apps like Final Cut or Photoshop CS5. Thanks for any suggestions!
