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.

"4) HEAT & VOLTAGE
"My friends lower the voltage on their MacBooks. From 1.4 V to 1.0. "
How do you do that?"

I read the review and comments and I am still confused about the new MacBook. I intend to buy a new Mac notebook very soon, but first let me say that I write from Brazil which means that I have to jump of the opportunity of friends coming down from the USA and buying the computer for me, because here in Brazil prices are about the double than in the US...
1) HEAT
I read:
" I'm concerned that you both complained about the heat issues, but Adam did not mention in the review that an official firmware upgrade fixes this "
What is a firmware upgrade and how can I do one if I buy the notebook in USA and uses it here in Brazil???
2) HEAT - bis
In 4 years in Brazil I "killed" almost 3 Mac laptops... Ok, you can blame it on the salt & humidity in the air (living near the sea) but I guess on the heat too. Heat is a big concern for me, not that I worry that much about burning my fingers but about the heat killing the machine! Does overheating really shorten the lifespan of a Mac laptop?
3) MERON
Does anyone know when it MacBook with Meron will be released??? Any date?
4) HEAT & VOLTAGE
"My friends lower the voltage on their MacBooks. From 1.4 V to 1.0. "
How do you do that?
