Speaking of Apple laptops, read the link for a chuckle. hot i7

Thats hot.

While working for Unisys Corp handling the god awful Dell laptop account we were eventually instructed by Dell to not refer to them as “Laptops” anymore.
We were told to call them “Notebooks” in front of the customers.

Something to do with low sperm count or whatever....

I have a quad-core Q6600 2.4 GHZ running in this PC.
Since the day i bought it a year and a half ago i have been running it overclocked at 3.4 Ghz.
Even with the most demanding programs running it never goes over 83C. Idles....let me check....around 36C per core.
I do have a nice aftermarket cooler though. It does gets pretty tight inside those laptop cases.

what is 100C? That is the boiling point of water i believe.
They should call it the I-Skillet. Cooks Bacon and eggs while you surf!

Here's a FReeper thread on that very thing... and clarifying the issue -- namely the report comparing "apples to oranges" -- that was put out in that other article from PC Advisor ... :-)

PC Advisor blows it: Implies Apple's 17-inch Macbook Pro Core i7 gets too hot when it doesn't

If you want to comment on this one, the FReeper article, above, is recent and you can "weigh in" ... :-)

As was said over in that thread ...

Comparing PC with i5 to Apple's i7... Oranges to Apples...

AND reports processor SURFACE temperature as though it were temperature of laptop case!!! NOT!
