Well, when you work up an appetite with the rapage, make sure you have some BBQ from Pork on a Fork ( http://www.porkonafork.com/home/ ) across the parking lot.

A few years ago (2007?), I had a Apple MacBook Pro's battery rapidly expand on my lap, horrible burns.

Wow, I hope you didnt get damaged.

Its mostly cleared up now, took 2 years to start healing.

Did you sue?

MrAndroid

@liam said: Did you sue?

No apparently it says in the manual "Not to have the laptop on your lap", or something like that.

I would never get myself an Apple laptop/PC. Complete waste of money in my eyes. Neither would buy myself an iphone, considering I can get something much better for that price.

I have a 2011 MBP now, and never had any battery or heat issues.

I asume this means macbook pro?

Well, I am using windows myself. I have a good spec laptop, that I got for really cheap compared to apple (it's a i5 sandy bridge, 8 gigs of RAM and 1gig external video, working absolutely great and stable). I am still doing some asp.net/c# programming from time to time, thats why I stick with windows. However, if I didn't use it for that, I'd go for Linux. Mac would be the last option.

MrAndroid

@LiquidHost said: I asume this means macbook pro?

Yes.

Im able to push 7 hours battery and I love the design of the hardware and OS X is one of the best UNIX-based OS's imo, great for PHP.

@Daniel said: Yes.

You had awfull experience with them, got burned and you still bought their new model?

MrAndroid

I brought another in 2009, never had an issue.

Saved up in 2011 and got another with the faster i5's.

The Unibodys do not have the battery issue, its the models before.

Didn't the iphones explode as well? :D

On the other side, around 7 years ago I had to send back a new dell 710m's battery for replacement, cause they were exploding as well.

Sorry for being nosey but how much did you pay as I'm starting to dislike Windows.

MrAndroid

I used to use iPhones (from 2007 to 2012), but recently moved to Android, and love it.

Its sad, CPU and screen technology is sky rocketing, yet battery technology can't keep up.
