Thanks for replying. I realized after I posted that I should have researched the claims more closely. It's true that I will not be having the MacBook Pro "sitting on my lap" for any extended periods of time. It will be sitting on a desk hooked up to a LCD projector and Smartboard throughout the day. I was more concerned with any glitches that would compromise my data and the software compatibility with the new dual processor. We've had more problems with the iBooks than any of the G4's. Several iBooks have overheated with smoke over the last couple of years. We are no longer purchasing these for our District. So, you can see why I was hesitant about going ahead with the Mac Pros. If anyone else has any other comments about these computers, please post.
I am concerned about what I just read in this thread. I am about to order two of these Probooks. I am an educator and cannot afford to have these overheat in the middle of a lesson. I also don't want to lose all the data that I will be transferring to these new laptops (despite the fact that I'm constantly uploading to our Server this "overheating" could occur at any moment.) I really need the features that the ProBook offers so what do you suggest I do? Should I ask the Apple Service Center to check the "paste" before I take possession of these laptops? I don't want to wait for their "fix." On an aside note: I currently have a G4 that runs "hot" too. Finally, do you have any info about the dual processor that they just incorporated into these new machines?
