Heat and noise issues? You decide.
Gratz! I doubt that these new MBAs might have so-called "break-in" time for their thermal compound.Well something must of happened with my i7. I have Mail, Safari, iCal, iTunes (Playing music) iPhoto, Photoshop, Activity Monitor, Word and Excel running. I'm currently at 46 Celicus and 1999 rpm. Wonder what happened but this is great!!

Interesting... Makes me wonder if I've got a defective unit here Right now my cpu is at 58 celsius and the fans are at 2k rpm. Only got safari open with four tabs + 1password. No background apps are running. When watching an episode of house last night on safari (flash) my cpu was around 80c and my fans were blazing at 4k rpm. Had maybe 4-5 tabs open and no background stuff. Anyway you could test your heat and fans while watching fullscreen flash with sound?

Great post. What tool are you using the update the system info on the desktop?

You did get a great i7 MBA. In my case, my 13" i7 MBA will hit 94 or 95°C when Handbreak is encoding videos.
My machine stays at 50°C when idle. I just replace the thermal compound this afternoon with AS-5. Now MBA does calm down to 42°C when idle. I am waiting to see the final result.
No. I had already done that when I first got it. It was busy downloading throughout the test so I plugged it in after it got to 5%.Very Informative! Thanks for taking the time sharing your testing results.
Your last photo had battery levels @ 6%. Did you run the battery all the way down until the MBA shuts down? Also, how long was your battery life from a full charge?

The Console app in utilities would be your best bet.Is there a log where I can view to check to see when it was last spotlight index?
You've just cost me £130
Yeah, sure. I'll give it a go later.nevereon said:Interesting... Makes me wonder if I've got a defective unit here Right now my cpu is at 58 celsius and the fans are at 2k rpm.
