Macs never have problems. Or so I have heard. They run perfectly and they are pretty. The end. If only that were the case. According to reviewers at PC Authority, that new Core i7 processor inside is heating up. I mean really heating up. In a bad way. Like, reaching 100°C.
If you have one of these on your lap, your nads will be fried pretty quickly, or it will at least prevent you from having children. Ouch!
Got my new MacBook Pro. Gonna be a hot time on the old crotch tonight.

Poor fools, thinking Macs are infallible. Sure no blue screen of death, but you do get the grey screen of death. Or worse the beach ball of death, it fosters false hope lol.
that what you get for using PC core…
@Anon, since they’ve switched from PowerPC, it’s always been Intel cores. The lack of air flowing from the computer + being thin can cause the people to notice a lot of heat coming from the computer. The ASUS G73 has a 1.6 i7 and I haven’t heard any complaints of heating issues.
I think Apple doesn’t realize that their Unibody might look cool, but i can almost guarantee thats the reason the i7s are running so hot.
100C seems a bit high for electronics that would be 212F….way too hot for electronics, not likely correct number
