Hey guys. First time Mac owner here. I really want to love and appreciate my new rMBP. After trying 3 different laptops I finally got the 2013 rMBP 256GB SSD, 8GM ram 13'inch and immediately fell in love with it.
My biggest concern however is the heat on this device. I've been monitoring the heat ever since I got it and it constantly idles at 60C. When I surf the web or just to simple tasks its in the low 60's. The only game I want to play Hearthstone, which i was lucky enough to get a beta invite spikes the temp up to 98C. The fan gets really loud at that point and the laptop feels uncomfortable.
I am a little disappointed by the heating issue as this will definitely affect the life cycle of the laptop and wondering if this is common problem in the 13' rMBP or if the 15' has better cooling. Like i've said i really wanted to love this laptop and don't want to return it - the display is gorgeous, the os x experience has been fluid and simple, and the trackpad is just amazing.
One last thing is the keyboard. I bought this laptop because i heard raving stories about how it has the best keyboard out of all laptops. I'm really not impressed with the keyboard, i feel like the keys are a shallow and I seem to be making frequent typos. I usually type 120 WPM (touch type) on my mechanical keyboard but only getting about 90 WPM. I was just wondering what all the hype was about because I'm not really too impressed with the keyboard.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers
