I'd probably be less obsessive with a $800 pc. Unfortunately this is a $1700 pc. I can heard it from 6 feet away, so its not entirely inconspicous.

My MB C2D fan has a tendency to make a whine at certain rpms. Around 2640 it kicks in, sort of a high pitched "singing" or hum that goes away as the fan either spins up or slows down. Sounds like it...

For the time being the macbook seems fine. That is no guarantee however. I got a C2D Macbook yesterday. It isn't hot. It isn't noisy. So far it does not shut it self down randomly :)

Apples back to school iPod + Mac offer expires on october 7th or so I think. It would be smart of them to wait with a mb mbp refresh untill AFTER that. So you are probably right.

I doubt 64-bit will provide any substantial benefits short term. Especially on a laptop. The C2D is slightly faster and more aggressive on power saving. Some tested a c2d vs a cd and found a 9 minute...

You CAN retrofit the superdrive with a lil DIY operation and a spare superdrive costing 2/3s of the price that going 1.83 to 2.0 is. So that was probably nice you did so. Me, I think the superdrive...
