Apple Earlier this year, Apple, after a long wait, updated its pro line of laptops by introducing the MacBook Pro, the Intel-powered equivalent of the PowerBook. MacSupport, together with Apple Netherlands, was so kind as to provide OSNews with a MacBook Pro for review purposes. Since Adam bought a MacBook Pro for himself only a few days earlier, we decided to review the machines together. Here are our findings.

heating and power scheme

I liked the review. I'm left with a couple of practical questions about the heating problem.

First, what happens with heating if you set the power scheme to reduced processor performance? If that'ss possible in a macintel?

The second question is to Adam. You reviewed the 12-in G4 powerbook when it came out. Great review, I bought one soon after and I stuck to it for these 3+ yrs. How would you compare the heating problem in the MBP with the 12-in G4? What about the keyboard? Considering the heat and the I'm going to get a new laptop through my job (cost is no issue), would you suggest I ask for a MBP or a macbook?

Thanks a lot for the review!
