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!

Different but seemingly identical laptop computers can operate at grossly different temperatures, depending on the software setup.

Some packages keep the processor working harder than others. Its a hard comparison to make.
