So I've heard about this issue online and some people on here are claiming it to be false. What I want to know is from everyone here who owns an Core i5 or Core i7 new MackBook Pro, have you experienced over heating issues?
I have the new mbp 15 inch i-5 and it gets extremely hot after only 5min on a hard load. i.e. WoW. I'm seriously thinking about giving it back before this trial period ends. I originally bought it for video editing, FCP. i needed portability and power.
this is my first mac. i love the way it looks and handles. i really like the battery life. i'm a little choked that i waited this long to get burnt.
any advice would be appreciated. (i'm talking about the new i-5 mcb overheating. not a core duo.)
15 inch MBP i-5 2.53g

A lot of people who get their first mac have this reaction to how hot the aluminum gets. Because you haven't used a computer this thin, in this body, and made out of aluminum the heat can be alarming. Maybe post some temps?

Nope. Runs almost as cool as my old 13" unibody macbook.
My MBP 15/2.53/500GB 7200rpm ran much cooler than my unibody MacBook. Fans ran mostly at 1999rpm while browsing while my MacBook is now showing 4711rpm with CPU temp at 69C, running just Mail, Firefox and Skype.
I'm now waiting for a replacement for my yellow tint screen problem.
