Temps now down from 70 degrees to around 50 when idle. Can start to appreciate the excellent improvements at last. An SMC reset seemed to improve it considerably though it may not work for everyone.

Right from the start it has felt considerably hotter, fans come on and are very noisy if watching video. Flash on web seems to trigger it too. Macbook Pro (late 2008) Not happy about this at all. Surely Apple would have got this sorted before release and if not with first 2 updates. Was working fine before upgrade, always cool and rarely heard fan unless doing something intensive. Wish I hadn't bothered now. The good points initially had me excited, now I'm just worried my machine is going to blow up.

MacOS 10.5 utterly destroyed my Powerbook G4/1.5Ghz system. System routinely overheated, and eventually lost the inner memory socket (which was fine under 10.4) and later the hard disk began to overheat as well (going into fast seek and no actual data transfer). I have since repaired all problems (replaced motherboard, and hard drive), but refuse to use anything later than 10.4 on it. I'm not surprised that newer hardware i having these kind of problems. I continue to like Apple systems, but a new round of overheating, which is connected to MacOS itself is a bad beatdown <wry grin>. Laptop overheat problems are nothing new.

I'm running OSX 10.6.1 and I am a heavy user of photoshop and final cut pro. I just bought a refurbished macbook pro 17in. 2.8GHz about a month ago, no problems what so ever.
