F is for Hot

As some here predicted, Apple's MacBookPro has some birthing niggles to work out. Early adoptors are feeling the pain.

Users have reported issues of irregular Airport connections, screen flicker when the brightness is set to the lowest setting, and uncomfortably warm running temperature, especially over the F key.

But as Andy will be sure to point out, Apple's groovy customer service is all over it. :lol3
As a result, Apple, which has admitted that these issues do exist on more than an anecdotal level, has started to replace the motherboard inside the computers. Starting with revision D (serial number W8611), Apple has fixed many of the reported problems and will be replacing affected MacBooks with this newer version at customers' requests.
Sid.

    i'm gonna make my phonecall to applecare after i read some confirmation that the processor noise has been resolved.

    yeah, it gets hot but mine is hot on the bottom. my F key is as cool as my M key, and that is cooooool.

    other than that, no problems here.
