I think this would apply equally well or perhaps even better to Macbooks. The difference there being, the superior technology is worth the heat.
Macbooks have superior tech over HP? I thought they both used Intel's CPUs. I think some of HP's use AMD's. Are the RAM, drives or monitor's better? Windows 7 apps can do more that any Mac OS.
i second #2
macs are for wannabe posers
....and emos
And yet, there are some things that Mac excel at. For one example, out of all the video editing software I've used, Final Cut Pro is by far the best. Avid is unintuitive as all hell, and Adobe Premier is just okay. Basically though, from my experience, Macs are best for working with video, graphics, and audio.
That being said though, I'd probably never replace my Windows computer tower, since there's still a lot of other things I use it for, like gaming. I'd more than likely get a MacBook Pro for use with freelance video and graphic work.
Really though, each system has both their positives and negatives. Don't bash one just because you hate it. It just comes off as childish.
On topic though, pretty funny pic.
Its really not funny when you have a overheating HP.
I was a mac addict on a pc budget until windows 7 came out. I have no problem running high end graphics programs on the pc that I built for several hundred dollars less than the G5's that I use at work. The macs have trouble keeping up while my pc just hums right along. I am a pc convert.
Well, the point wasn't that PCs couldn't do anything at all. When I was at school for video and motion graphics, I learned programs on both Windows and Mac. For me, Final Cut Pro ran circles around anything I used on Windows, but the Windows machines at the school did have Adobe After Effects, and that seemed to be better than Motion, which is packed with the Final Cut Studio bundle. (And yes, I know Adobe products can be used on Macs as well, I was just using this particular example for argument's sake.)
Growing up, I never really liked Macs, but I never had much of a good reason for it, far as I remember. After going through school though, Macs kind of grew on me, and I realized that there's things I'd rather do on the Mac than I'd do on Windows. But again though, I still have no plans on completely getting rid of my use of Windows, just splitting the duties.
That being said, that's mainly based on my own experiences. I still like Windows for the things I use it for, but it's partly because of what I use it for that I don't really trust trying to do serious video and graphics work on it, which is why I'm going for a MacBook Pro, maybe a full Mac Pro tower in the far future.
So yeah, more power to you to use Windows for your high end work, and I'm glad you've got something solid to work on. Me, I'll do my high end work on a Mac.
Also a computer running windows 7 versus a g5 is not a good competition since g5s havent been made for four years. obviously a 4 year old computer is going to struggle to keep up with a brand new one no matter what os it is running
Regardless, Final Cut Pro's perceived superiority to similar offerings available on Windows does not extend to mean that Mac OS X is superior to Windows in areas of "video, graphics, and audio." Final Cut Pro serves one rather specific purpose in the world of video editing. It is not a complete suite of media/creativity software, nor would ANY such suite render OS X superior to Windows in any way. At the end of the day a Mac is the same damned computer, with less punch for more money, and a shinier user interface. Nothing more.

AMEN!
macs are for pro tools, recording, graphic design, and making xbox 360 games apparently among other industry standard professions morons.
Suddenly the PC is personal again!
don't leave your laptop (with fan on the bottom) going on a matress. I did this then when i looked later under the sheet the mattress was black - very dangerous!!!
Ok good, Mac's are superior at editing video. That's probably about 1 percent of all the things you can do with a computer.
Try buying inexpensive software for a Mac. Try opening up a Mac and upgrading your hardware. Try building your own Macintosh.
Try running two or three graphics cards in a Macintosh.
Choice is good. With Macs, your choices are very limited because Apple is run by a control freak. Try finding one person who controls all the PC hardware and the operating system.
funny. i read this on an overheating pc
I have an old Dell XPS laptop. Running at full speed there is absolutely no need for the extra two plates. I can cook water just putting the pot behind the notebook. Also in Winter the heat is quite convenient.
HP may have good enterprise hardware but I can't stand the consumer computer they make. I have a Dell m4500 and the i3 heat is fine as long as it has decent ventilation - i.e. don't put it on a soft couch. I've used a MacBook and it has much more heating issues.
I used to use Macs and I still think they are decent, but on an enterprise scale you can't even consider them. As a PC Macs are ok, but I don't see spending that much when I can get much better hardware from Dell for the same price. Win7 has been doing very well for me.
I have MacBookPro january 2010 and i haven't had any overheating problems. I added ssd drive earlier this year and i have been even more happy with it. It is just very good that I just turn my screen donw when I stop working and I can open my screen when I continue working. No need to turn off. I do lot of system administrating and web developing with IBM technology envinronmets. Only con is that I have only 8 GB memory.
