I ordered a new 15" MBP Core i7 (see specs in signature line below)

I've pushed it hard while doing 3D design work, and found it to be fast, stable and very impressive.

Yes it gets rather warm under a heavy load, but certainly not hot, and cooler than my mid 2009 MBP.

In fact I've been so happy with this one that I gave it to a family member and bought another for myself. Then my wife wanted one, so I bought one for her.

Now with three Core i7's in service, I'm finding the quality control to be excellent as each of them has been trouble free. I could not be happier.

I've had 1 freeze 3 weeks ago. I closed the lid, opened it again, and everything was back to normal. Hardly a concern.

Very happy.
