Loving the new macbook and can't wait to order mine...except 1 problem -
i live in south africa and we don't get them here for at least another 4 weeks:mad::mad::mad::mad:

my dad has an acer and if you cover the fan grill it gets super HOT. From what i've gathered there no holes anywhere on the new MB, care to explain anyone??? Surely it will get hot?
 
I'm not an expert but from what I've read, the aluminum case disperses the heat somehow. For whatever it's worth, I tried the MB out in the store, putting it through its paces, and it barely got warm.
 
glad to hear you like it!!

Im gettin one wednesday, my first mac ever :D

Im gonna do the same as you and put windows on (maybe xp tho)

Ive heard issues with it tho, like the new trackpad making erratic movements, but it seems your ok...

So you could tell me what vista your using and also the exact macbook your using too? i assume its 2.4 macbook (not pro) which is the one im getting too.

Thanks mate

Congratulations on your purchase and good to see you're happy with it.

I really like the look of the new MacBooks, but I just can't justify replacing my current one, it's only five months old after all.
