According to this article at AnandTech, TDP for Clovertown is expected to be between 80-120W. Projecting from the information in the article, I am guessing that Kentfield will come in around 80W. It's still probably too hot to go with the current de…

There is another business angle here as well. During the transition, there has been a slow down or stall for several Mac products. To manage the financial numbers better, to meet/exceed Wall Street expectations, it is advantageous to introduce produ…

Quote: Originally posted by Chucker Yeah, do try, because you'll find that the Aluminum PowerBooks were actually hotter. Not in my experience. I also own a PowerBook (1.25GHz, now about 3 yrs old). It gets nowhere as hot as the MBP.
