I just upgraded from my old 400 mHz (overclocked to 500mHz) PowerBook G4 to the new 800mHz Titanium and it looks like it produce even more hot air than the old overclocked one did. When I bought it I played with it configuring for a couple of days and the temperature was normal, but when I installed all 3D stuff and all latest Video CD/ DVD players and run that software the Powerbook turn hot immediately. It is REALLY HOT! You can not even touch the panel above the keyboard it is almost boiling temperature and it is imposible to keep it on your knees when you wear shorts and it is very inconvenient even if you wear jeans! The fan inside is runing on the hi speed all the time. What do you think? Is that the bad unit or they all supposed to be like this? I am going to call AppleCare Monday, but I am not really sure of what to tell them - the machine works fine, it is not freezing or crashing it is just HOT! Any suggestions or even just words?
BTW is there any utility around which allow you to display inside temperature? There should be something like this because the firmware is managing the fan speed. That means it knows what the temperature is.
Thanks.
Regards.
