Hey folks,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm an Electrical Engineering/Computer Science student, and have wanted to hit the Mac world ever since a close friend bought a 12" MackBook Pro last year (pre-CoreDuo).
At the time, I had no CS classes and so I chose to wait for the impending CoreDuo (Yonah) processors. Shortly after they were released, I received an 8-month internship position at a major telco, so it ended up not being needed yet.
With me heading back to school in January, a lot of money from my internship sitting in the bank, and the release of the C2D MacBook Pros, I've decided to jump on the Mac bandwagon. I'm an ADC member and am ready to hit the "purchase" button on Apple.com.
Now the issue ... I was told by an "acquaintance" to hold off on purchasing the C2D until revision 2 as there have been some issues, specifically regarding heat, creeping up with the new MackBook Pros. My acquaintance would not go into detail, but strongly suggested I wait until the issues were ironed out.
I keep tabs on this site weekly and have noticed no common complaints; there is the occasional problem, but that's always the case with new releases. In fact, heat seems to be less of a problem than in the Yonah.
So, what problems are creeping up on people?
