MACBOOKS OVERHEATING?

So we all love the new MacBook laptops from Apple using the new Intel Core Duo processors. Then why is Apple saying not to put them on your lap?

We are being told that the new MacBooks contain powerful processors that are still good at battery life. However what do we trade?

Apparently, the new Core Duos from Intel kick out a massive ammount of heat accoding the Engadget. So hot they may potentially "burn" you. That's pretty hot.

I owned a Toshiba A10 containing a P4M (not a Pentium M) and it got bloody hot too but it didn't burn (though got really close).

But what do we expect from Apple? I think we need to give them a break. Intel processors have never been known to run cool so the Core Duo should be no surprise to run hot.

However I do feel for those who purchased a new MacBook and their case is starting to melt.

Apple has released a firmware update to save their problematic CPU and make users feel a little more cozy.

Apple is still however placing inserts in their MacBook retail boxes stating not to place MacBook on your lap. Umm, I buy a notebook to use on the road,..., where there are no desks. What's the point of having a laptop that needs a desk or table to use it.

Oh well, I still want a MacBook.
