They picked the one notebook that probably costs more than all of Apple’s offerings. The Fujitsu Lifebook/Panasonic Toughbook is popular in extreme conditions (mining, police work, construction, etc.). It is not representative of a typical PC notebook.

Wow, 100 degC is damn hot for silicon. I doubt that the consumer-grade of chip will take that for very long.

Sounds like a problem, to me.

And it just couldn’t be possible that they got a defective unit to test. It’s funny how when I checked Cnet & Engadget reviews they didn’t mention this problem.

It has happened before when some macbooks shipped with way too much thermal grease.

Forget temporary sterilization, this is enough to cause blistering and burns.

I guess I'll get the 13".

During normal use, these extremes might never be reached. (Unless you're trying to watch an Adobe Flash video. :-)

Although I don't think I could boil water with my MacBook, it does get very warm when running Flash. Flash is very power hungry on Macs -- I'm not surprised Apple nixed it for the iPad.
