my mac book pro late 2008 2.8GHz is very hot … too freaking hot … they had replaced the main board already but still the same … i got for a few weeks and the HD already died with all my files gone which the not so caring centre wanted to help recover.

so freaking hot i … i went to digilife (apple store) and played with the same model and specs that’s on display … it didn’t have heat issue … am going to take my machine again and demand for replacement … i will not rest in peace …

I made a test with XBench of my new MacBook Pro 2.8GHz/4Gb/320Gb 7200t… and then the same test of my iMac 24″ 3.06GHz/4Gb/750Gb 7200t… I have to admit that I have been quite disapointed ’cause the result show that the new MacBook Pro 2.8GHz is 20 to 25% under the scores of the iMac, whatever could be the test, even setting it on maximum video performances.

I just ordered one, even before looking at this review test, and I am really really happy the 2.8 is worth getting, the differences aren’t tremendous, but big enough to justify the price difference, especially using a student discount it comes much much cheaper…
