[QUOTE="d_rock, post: 498854, member: 23511"] Hey guys, Does anyone else feel discouraged to really use their MBP for 'professional' type things? I feel like I can't do anything...converting video, playing games...because the heat generated makes my arms sweat and then my fingers get moist and it just makes the whole experience unpleasant. At normal usage my MBP is at 53'C and the fans are at 2500 RPM, but once the fans go above 3000 RPM they won't go back down...they just stay like that until I shut down the notebook. Not to mention the fan noise...when I'm doing things that put load on the notebook, the fans shoot right up to 6000 and drown out whatever I'm doing. It's so bothersome....I mean, I wanted a great notebook that would replace a desktop, which this is, but there's so many times that I feel irritated to be using it. The thing just seems to radiate heat...I swear it makes my face sweat too. Also, since the keyboard surface gets hot, resting my hands on it while typing makes my skin hurt after a while...I can live with the underside heat, but the keyboard and topside heat is just too much. And don't even get me started on the jagged edges...my wrists are in so much pain after a few minutes of typing. Does anyone else feel this way? I've honestly looked into selling it and looked into other brands and whatnot, but there simply isn't anything comparable. I even looked at the regular Macbooks, but I don't think I could live with on-board graphics =\ [/QUOTE]
