All computers generate heat. I'm not sure I entirely understand your question though.

There were reports of misapplied thermal paste, causing some heat issues. There is guide in the forum on re-applying the thermal paste properly if there is a heat issue.

Let me add, I haven't not read about very much at all in the way of heat-related issues with the 13" macbook pro( I could be wrong). All the ones I have heard about have been the 15" model.

then i think i mast wait > LoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL
 
Perhaps the OP is referring to any heat problems of the new Intel chips (i5/i7 in the 13"). I am interested myself.
 
Oh come on now...How do you think I cook my Hot Pockets without a microwave? :rolleyes:
 
I've had my macbook for 2 weeks now and I've really only ever seen the fan speeds at 2000 and the cpu idles at around 45 celsius.. dips down to 40 and under heavy load goes up to 70 Celsius top. Maybe I haven't played close enough attention but heat has not been an issue. this computer is absolutely stunning, im on it all day just because its fun to use.

I've had my i5 for one week and run multiple programs at once and have yet to notice any heat problems. It runs way cooler than my 2007 Core 2 duo.

Back to the OP, yes there is heat inside (Set the camera to emphasize heat points, it's not as hot as it looks)

What exactly are you waiting for precisely. Every generation has heat complaints from people who think their computers should generate 2C heat even if it has a 6-core processor consuming 95W of power. Yes there is heat...in EVERY computer. Computers have powerful processors which generate heat, and no matter how long you wait, that simple law of physics won't change. End of story.

The more appropriate question is are the computers overheating. No they are not. If by some rare occurrence you happen to come across one that does, Apple will gladly replace it for you.

you can at absolute zero, as the kinetic energy would = 0 :p


back to OP i have noticed that during stressful times, like running several things on chrome, demuxing a dvd, itunes and streaming a movie - my cpu temp did hit the 85 mark and fans went upto 4000rpm

but the machine was not really any hotter than my MBP15" tbh
