I don't know enough about how they cool off laptops, but a laptop that thin sounds like it's just begging for heat problems.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

It uses your crotch as a heatsink.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But only if you're man enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel old-fashioned, but as much as I like the epaper folio cover, part of me screams MAGNETS!!!! AIEEEE!!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Without a hard drive, it should run a whole lot less hot.
But I wouldn't discount the heatsink factor altogether.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I searched this thread and I couldn't find an answer to this question. I'm thinking about buying a new laptop in 2-8 months and I am going over the question: mac or pc?
If I decide to get a mac, is there a website or something that can give me info on what kind of software I may need to buy for the mac that is seen as "must haves?"
Does firefox work well on the mac (because I probably use that software app more than any other)? I can get Office through work I figure if macbooks don't come loaded with it.
How much of a pain is it to move pc files over to a mac?
are there accessories I need if I go the macbook route?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got a MacBook. I was playing around with iChat today, and now, even though I shut down all the programs that were using the iSight, the little green light next to it is still on. I shut down and restarted the computer, and the light is still on. How do I shut the camera off? The help menu was entirely unhelpful.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've been using Firefox for over a year on a Mac, and I loves it.
They've got a whole section on moving from PC to Mac. I don't recall it being particularly painful when I did it.

They've - meaning Mac?
