This is it. Always the same stuff, but I kind of need all of it at some point during the week

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve had nothing but hell with Apple notebooks.
Well, after a MacBook that had literally a dozen major issues with it (it was repaired/replaced 4 times, not counting the faulty power supply and battery) they gave me a new MacBook Pro.
Turns out this "new" MacBook Pro will only last 1hr30min on battery life (that’s with brightness on minimum and everything off, while idling). In complete idle state, the laptop is at 86 degrees C (186 F!), so I’m guessing it’s suffering from the ol’ MacBook heatsink problem where it’s got waaay too much heat sink fluid between the CPU and the heat sink.
Averages are 3-4 hours battery life in other reviews, and temperatures of around 50 degrees C in idle. I’m looking at 1/4 that battery life, and nearly double that temperature.

FUCK APPLE!
I’m phoning up the representative that offered me the new machine tomorrow – I want a complete refund.

Jesus, that’s insane – I thought my MBP ran hot, and that only hits the low 70′s if I’m doing something computationally intensive.
Yikes, that sucks! I have had nothing but good experiences with my MacBook (after I got the whole randomly shutting down thing cleared up).
macbook pro CPU runs at about 130ºF and I think that’s too hot!
