Does Your New Core i7 17-inch MacBook Pro Run Very Hot?

on 04/26/2010, filed in Home > Apple

Not everybody out there can afford a 17-inch Core i7 MacBook Pro, but the folks over at PC Authority have got their hands on a unit, and it seems that they managed to get the CPU to temperatures of about 101 degrees when benchmarking it using Cinebench. Apparently errors started to appear due to the high temperatures and they needed to turn the MacBook Pro on its side in order to complete the tests. Granted most people wouldn’t be pushing the 17-inch MacBook Pro to its limits all the time, but it’ll be interesting to see if everyday use, and not benchmarking, will be able to push the MacBook Pro to such limits. Have you noticed any heat issues on your latest MacBook Pros?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
