MacBook core i7 : a real powerfull laptop or a sadly build toy ?

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi Marian,

Both my laptops are installed on such aluminium + additional fans USB tablets ... but only the ASUS fans are running at less than < 3000 t/mn while the 720QM 8 virtual cores are 100% used on a 24/7 basis ;-)

Best, Pierre

I put those little circular felt furniture pads (the ones with self-adhesive built in) on the bottom of my MBPs to raise the laptop up slightly more than the Apple-installed "feet" do and find that really helps with heat dissipation.  YMMV.

The bad thing in them was the construction quality - one time good (as the best of alls : PWB G4 12" 1 Ghz), one time sadly bad (as the sadest of all : PWB 5300 cs, three time rebuild to new by Apple).

Instead of letting the processors fans turns all the day at 6000 t/mn as soon as 3 virtual cores are at work, the best to do is to switch to a more seriously build 720-i7 PC laptop (height virtual cores) able to run at 100% of its available power without becoming too hot even after months (i'm very happy with my ASUS 14" i payed half the price of the MBP).
