Hi guys,

I just found this on the web: http://www.appledefects.com/?p=74





Very interesting. 95c Intel Core 2 Duo?!?!? I mean, seriously Apple, you may like to have an unique desigh, but you can;'t let that get in the way, and make something so poorly designed that it will run at 95c.

Alright, so why is it called laptop then? We should call it the Apple Booktop. But seriously, why would you want a laptop that runs that hot? Looks like I'm not getting a Macbook, and will hopefully get a Asus laptop.

Though it is not as bad as the flaming dells: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish...2f17843%2f

Ouch!

I would hate to spend so much money on something and have that happen to it, just coming to mind i remember barry schwartz saying how hot these things really get, i dont think its uncommon

My MacBook tends to get a little warm, but I think it's only a minority of faulty models which are getting hot enough to melt.

You can control the cooling fan, and even switch it off to conserve battery power. I would guess the person who managed to melt theirs had probably monkeyed around with the fan controls. Numpty.

Another laptop that has head isuse is the older Acer laptops. Thoughs had some serous melting issues.

I heard about that, and Acer is a brand that I would avoid. Dell seems pretty good in that, because I have one with a brocken fan, but it's never caused any errors from the heat, even though it has reached 97C. It reached that only when running at 100% CPU usage though.

I myself want to get a new HP or Asus laptop.

HP's aren't bad but the come with alot of crap installed on it.

ithink i heard something about the batterys causing that, and they went by apple...

The batteries were that they were overheating and sometimes exploding, but they were made by Sony. Another problem with the MacBooks though was the power adapter, that it would just burn out.

oooooooooohhhhhhh. thanks

No problem, bc.

I remember Dell laptops having problems with the battery also. The battery would explode. There might be some videos on YouTube.
