    Yeah, it gets pretty hot, I havent done anything processor intensive yet and it is getting pretty hot. Or if you meant hot in the other sense, its beatiful and sexy.

    I picked up my new MBP yesterday (the 2.4ghz 15" ) from the Apple store. I'll probably do a review too but I've been working a lot lately so don't expect it for a few more days :\

    To some degree isn't there a bit of a "burn-in" period anyway? I remember with my SZ, it ran very hot initially, but after it had been in use for a couple of weeks, average temps seemed to go down quite a bit.

    But yeah, one thing with the MBP of course is that the all-metal case is going to be a major heat conductor.

    Personally, I use an iLap:
