I switched about 2 weeks ago, got a refurb 2.4 penryn MacBook. So far I am really loving it. After falling in love with iTunes and front row, handbrake and other things, I've started looking at Apple TVs and I'm in the process of ripping my DVD collection.
I have about two thousand episodes of various TV shows, and the settings I'm using on handbrake mean that they take about half an hour each. During this time my cpu will be almost full load. So far i've been doing it in 2 to 10 hour bursts in my spare time.
Im wondering if this sort of heavy usage is risky on the MacBook. Are there any instances of macbooks breaking after heavy use? Has being an xbox 360 owner made me paranoid?
So am I worrying over nothing?
P.S. Depsite how paranoid I seem, I really do not wanna get apple care, its expensive and theres a good chance i'll sell this thing and get a pro in a year
