February 27, 200818 yr I understand that laptops have to sacrifice powerful fans for space, but why do the Macbooks insist on being so hot on the bottom, my legs are boiling!!
February 27, 200818 yr heheheh.. yeah they do get quite toasty if doing anything really intense but i assume that any laptop would get hot.. they just can't pump the heat out like a desktop
February 27, 200818 yr the mac range tends to be "notebooks" rather "than laptops" - that is, they are designed to be portable desktop machines, and as such sacrifice energy efficiency for a decent processor speed.
February 27, 200818 yr Author There is one benefit, I don't have to keep the heating on in the house.
February 27, 200818 yr Be careful if you're planning to be a parent he he! I know what you mean, due to the heat the laptop produces I have to move it further down the leg as to not, damage anything
February 27, 200818 yr Apparently if you sit a laptop on your lap (maracas) the temperature increases by 3 degrees and can seriously affect your sperm count. Safest to sit at a desk. There are unfortunately side affects of an increased sperm count. For example your bank account gets emptied every month.
February 29, 200818 yr Be careful if you're planning to be a parent my thoughts exactly! all this new fangled technology bluetooth 2.3.302.3 and wifi 802.11nvhs.334h really isnt good for the old testycleas
February 29, 200818 yr Yeah no you're right I'd much rather have to deal with periods and child birth than have to sit at a desk....... lol
February 29, 200818 yr Author Tbh, it feels kinda nice having them warmed up a bit.... I don't sit with my laptop *on* my lap very often; it's usually on my desk, so I'm allowed to do it once or twice a week...
February 29, 200818 yr Yeah no you're right I'd much rather have to deal with periods and child birth than have to sit at a desk....... lol Ever heard of 'the pill' ?
March 2, 200818 yr Aye but the pill isnt 100% - so then i'd have to deal with the constant paranoia of 'what if it didnt work?' Well f$% that and a bag of bananas
March 2, 200818 yr Dang! I wondered why my heating bills had gone up so much since my powerbook died... Sorry - I've nothing to contribute to the contraception debate. ...I wasn't planned by my parents.
March 2, 200818 yr I understand that laptops have to sacrifice powerful fans for space, but why do the Macbooks insist on being so hot on the bottom, my legs are boiling!! Back on topic - saw this on QVC yesterday. I was very tempted. Port Designs Portable Lapdesk & Mouse For Your Notebook No need to roast your chestnuts any more
March 2, 200818 yr Author That is awesome! I'm not sure how I'd feel whipping it out on a train or bus though
March 2, 200818 yr Lol that just looks like a chopping board with a hole in the middle. I could do that with 1 chopping board and a jigsaw.
March 2, 200818 yr Author If you can make it with the mouse rest, and foldable like that one - then I'll take 2!
