Yeah fan noise under load is what I'm most curious about. My current 15" MBP sounds like a jet engine under load.@ jjahshik32
What about heat? Fan noise? Strange "features"?![]()
The machine is NOT faster than a Mac Pro. Both machines have processors based on the Nehalem architecture and hence perform pretty equal clock per clock. Given that 2.8GHz is considerably higher than 2.3GHz, the Mac Pro is undoubtedly faster.
I went with SSD so hopefully I get some noise reduction there. Would be a little bit of a buzz kill for me if there was no noise reduction on the fansWirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8C148a Safari/6533.18.5)
Fan noise seems the same, hardrive might be 1% louder...
So far I've been using the mbp only non auto graphics checked and my fan has been at 2000 rpm this whole time. CPU is at 60 celsius and 58 for the GPU.![]()
Got anything GPU intensive on there? Game perhaps? I find that my fan noise goes crazy from either encoding, gaming, or just multitasking like crazy.So far I've been using the mbp only non auto graphics checked and my fan has been at 2000 rpm this whole time.

If you have a PS3 and a thunderbolt port (AKA Mini-DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter.
Could you test to see if it works (PS3 to MBP: audio, "lagness", test a few games etc.)?
And at what resolution it shows at?
Or, if you don't have a PS3, could you try it with a blu ray drive.
If you don't have either / adapter: thanks, anyway.

Amazing if this can work! PS3 or Xbox 360 directly plugged into a notebook would be amazing.
60 degrees celsisus when idling, wtf, thats high
Yes, the fact that the mDP is now a TB port may mean that video in is possible. I would imagine that you would still need software support for this though, which I doubt Apple does. Windows maybe?
Just picked up my i7 2.3 matte with a biz discount. They had them in stock as well!
Please turn it around and have a look at the screws. What tyoe of screws are there?
