I hate to be the bearer of bad news to you because I do encourage your switch to Mac as I did 6 months ago and have never looked back, but you should be aware that both myself and a co-worker have both experienced opening our laptop bags and our new Macbook Pros had either never gone to sleep or came alive at some point and were hot as the devil.

I think Mac has some sleep issues as well… check out the support discussion boards for more.

I still think you will be happy you switched!

Steve.

Hi Heidi,

I’ve heard rumours that the heat issues are (somewhat) better after an update that keeps the fan on longer. Then again, I don’t know if there’s any truth to this — I’ve read so many Mac rumours in the past few weeks that I can’t remember what is what anymore! :)

I prefer the transcript at Apple Matters:

I’ve also been thinking about buying a macbook pro, so I’m hoping the merom-based will be introduced too …
The battery life and noise issues of the macbook pro are already resolved, but what do you think about the heat issues that users have been complaining about ?

>>
I’ve had it with some driver conflicting with the hibernation feature on my laptop and with Windows crashing while in Standby only to restart so that my notebook becomes a fiery inferno in my bag.

Ditto — the inferno thing happened to me on Wednesday night — I paid how much for this high end dev tablet and this is how it performs.

Almost bought last week as well, but wanted to wait to today for the annoucnement.
