This site will help collect and show the temperatures of Apple Macintosh computers using the new processors by Intel. All new computers that haven't faced the trail of time will have problems and issues that can make users mad and furious. As with the new MacBook Pro machines where were, and still are, problems with heat dissipation. After scouting forums and help sites for information about what temperatures I can expect on a new MacBook, but that turned out to be harder and more scattered than I first imagined. That's the main motive behind this site and it didn't take too long to setup as I had the base code handy from another site. -

(2.53 MBP 13in) mine idle is 50c and when watching flash gets to 80c then the fans kick in and it drops to around 77c when this mac hits a full load highest Ive seen was 92c. With notebook cooler expect to see it around 44 to 48c idle and 82 on full load.
