Greetings all.
I really need some help in trying to figure out what is reality here.
I recently bought a ALU book 1.25
after selling my ti 800
I now really regret this action.
Here is my situation.
I find that the palm rests become far too hot after about an hours, they infact become warm after only 10 or 20 minutes. I find this intolerable for typing etc..... Compared to my Ti, this unit is a egg cooker.
Now I thought that the Ti was a hot machine but the palm rests never got warm!
Sure all around, the Ti was hot but never on the palm rests.
After sending the unit to APPLE to be inspected, they returned it telling me that
it was operating within specs!
I get various different answers from APPLE reps.
A:No this unit is NOT designed to get HOT in the palm rest area. That would be silly.
B: Yes, it is designed to get hot there, because it is a faster chip and the whole
body disperses the heat.
But, when i tried another unit at a store that was on for a while it didnt seem hot in the least.
I am calling out to all the ALU book users to answer this question for me.
Is your Palm rest area hot?
I am merely typing and surfing the net, when the heat appears.
Should I forget about the ALU books and get a G5 and wait for the newer G5 Powerbooks to arrive and hope that the heat issue is resolved before getting a laptop.
I sure miss my Ti 800, that was the SWEET spot of Apples product line.!!!
I could cry....
There isnt any other Apple stores in my
area and I can't go back to the place that I bought this from, I think that they knew that they were selling me a lemon!
I appreciate any help!
HELP!!
