The saga of Apple laptops running hot goes on. Recently, we noted that the latest Apple laptops were groin-scorchers. Then Nick Brown, 11, had his Apple laptop explode in flames.
If that wasn’t enough to make you think twice about dropping one of these babies into your lap, check out this post from Apple’s support forum:
I have a Macbook Pro, and my wife and I drove home from Disneyland yesterday. She had the MPB on her lap and was watching a movie from the hard drive. It got hot enough to actualy burn her leg.
I call Applecare this morning, they facilitate a repair by sending me a box… and John (the Specialist) actually said “In the manual, it says that the device shouldn’t be placed on your lap.” Granted the guy apologized for it getting hot, or as he said “overly warm”, but holy crap! To actually try and blame us for this unit getting hot enough to HURT someone is ridiculous.
I’ve got all the usual problems. The whine, the heat, the random rebooting….. but it’s my fault that I didn’t read the manual.
Ewwww!
