    The way ad networks work that might not necessarily be true, but the op overreacted to something that’s a general computing issue and not really specific to SBAF.

    Isn't the last few MBP Generations were crap with a silly MSRP? Removing features, using specs that like four years old or something like that? That's from what I remember from my close friend who is a Mac guy.

    All current Macs thermal throttle. Period. There's a cost in minimal (size) designs.


    P.S., anybody notice "MightyBig Penis" logo on the screenshot image?
