Thanks guys. I must add that I'm new to the portable world . I used several large desktop Macs before (Mac IIci, dual G4, eMac, dual G5, Mac mini...), and never bothered about the internal temperature in their case. But then, the...

I'm currently running an all new MBP 13" at 2.66 GHz. The tests I made today (large textures handling in 3D environnement, OpenGL, music playing in background...) gave me an internal CPU temperature as high as 83°C. Should I worry...

Thanks Marvin. To me, security of data on the SSD is the most important thing. Access speed (read) is also very important. I don't mind much if the writes are a bit slow. What is the current price range for high quality 256 GB SSD...

I'm looking for a very good ( = most reliable, high quality or the best) internal SSD available for a new MacBook Pro 13". I prefer to use 256 GB of SSD storage, but if the price is still too high, I may go for a 128 GB only (but...

I think that I finally made my decision : Tomorrow (Friday), I'll go to the Apple Store and buy the basic 13" MBP and order it with the 128 GB SSD. I'm just too tired to wait for a refresh, and I don't want to become another...

How reliable is that information ? Should I buy the current MBP 13" instead of waiting for something with a less powerfull GPU ? I need a 13" model with a strong GPU. The current 320M is just powerfull enough for my...
