macdailynews said:Furthermore, the screenshot Baxter and Gillooly show clearly indicate a "FUJITSU PC" running an "Intel Core i5." Not an Intel Core i7. So, of course, it's running cooler. PC Advisor's propaganda piece is falling apart at the seams.
Wut? My Lenovo doesn't even produce enough heat to keep my lap warm. I have a G530.I had one of the early Intel Macbook Pros and it would hit ~95C under load. That laptop shell would get too hot to comfortably hold on a lap. If I used the thing outside during the summer (or while driving), it would overheat and blip off if any direct sunlight was hitting the chassis.
After that I had a Lenovo that got so hot the docking connector left a burn mark on my leg. Apparently playing WoW outside in the sun while wearing shorts was a bad idea =/

Actually the cores hit 104 and 103 degrees Celcius MAX according to the screen shots.
Considering that Tj Max is 105 degrees C, I'd say that the thermal protection probably kicked in. However, I'll give Apple the benefit of the doubt and see if it's a defective unit first, before jumping on the Apple Hate Bandwagon.
What's more funny is the comment by Apple Fanboi that links to an uneducated fanboi blog post on macdailynews "rebutting" the PC Authority article, by sticking their thumbs in their ears and pointing out "inaccuracies" in the PC Authority arcticle that just reveal their lack of tech knowledge and unending Apple Fanboism.
Too bad the Apple MacBookPro screenshow also shows an "i5" processor. The fanbois over at macdailynews don't even realize that since the Core i7-620M is a dual core processor architecturally not similar to their i7 quad core mobile bretheren, it's often identified as a Core i5 Mobile chip. I can go on, but just that quote shows the lack of objective rebuttal... the whole rebuttal article sounds more like "Nyah, Nyah, Apple can't suck, YOU suck" than a well formed rebuttal.
I'm a dinosaur, I know, but I don't see why people like laptops so much. Its an exercise in compromises, yeah its sorta mobile, for 3 hours till the battery chokes, and for that I gotta put up with a shitty keyboard, shitty screen, and now... enough heat that "chestnuts roasting on an open fire", isn't just a christmas carol anymore.

Jobs seems to have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with making things thin and sleek, and pretty (I mean this is the guy that threw a temper tantrum because the memory traces on a motherboard were "ugly") and his obsession with making things not just quiet but as close to inaudible as he can get them.
This is one of the big reasons I didn't buy a 15" MacBook Pro. Obviously the dual-core i5 in the base 15" I was considering isn't nearly as bad, but I've heard multiple reports that even the 15" is uncomfortable if you use it on your lap.
My ThinkPad T400 (Core 2 Duo P8700) on the other hand is perfectly comfortable even running WoW, and while it gets a bit toasty when I run both Prime95 and FurMark at the same time, it's nowhere near TJ Max (around 20C away at worst).
I dunno. I mean I personally wouldn't care. For example, my main case has a window, so everything there is nice a pretty. However the wiring job in all my other boxes would probably make people here cry so I mean I obviously wouldn't care about mem traces. However, he sells a 'status symbol' product of sorts. Rolls-Royce does crazy detailed things with the decking (which is well... decking to start with) on its convertables... It isn't like the makers and buyers of status symbol type things don't do crazy stuff. Seems you are making too much out of that Hornet.
on a side note, does it really hurt the over all design of the machine if its a little bit thicker? just a 1/4" would add so much more breath-ability to it...
