Re: The MacBook Heat We Love to Hate. Post Your Heat Here.
I guess you're right about the 64 bit bit. wouldn't a thinner case mean that heat can escape better and hence maintain a cooler temperature?

If its a low-power chip, that should imply that it will run cooler. I mean, electricity goes into the chip and ends up waisted as heat. If their making it run more efficiently, they should be able to increase battery time.
I hope.
Please.

Back in my day we let the PC laptops fry users, while we stayed calm and cool with our G3's. What is this world coming to?

If you are charging the battery, it will get hotter than if it is running from the battery. A battery has to heat up to at least 70 degrees or so before it will accept a charge. It has to do with the chemical reactions that occur during charging.
Okay, that makes sense:)

I hit 91c/195F the other day. Beating my existing personal record of 88c/190F.
Not cool.

Considering that water boils at 100C/212F... this is definitely too hot. I am writing this with my iBook G4 on my lap, and it's perfectly comfortable.
