All the mac books and mac book pros I've encountered have decently strong fans when they kick in full mode.ibnekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795484492498834779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-26734796073383567962009-01-19T02:52:00.000-05:002009-01-19T02:52:00.000-05:00It's not strange that it's running at a lower spee...It's not strange that it's running at a lower speed when idle. That is to make the laptop cooler, more quiet and having longer battery life. Having it throttle during heavy load in normal room temperature is a warranty issue imho.Sniglomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928207350672548445noreply@blogger.com
