Last wednesday morning my MBP stopped working after leaving it on for a night. (screen started going on and off, booting images distorted, etc etc) After talking to people in AppleCare I barely understood, I started using the operator option and got things done faster. Acording to a paper that came back with my MBP, I believe the video card was changed. Has this happened to anyone else here?
I have been reading that this has been happening in the new iMacs. Applecare was great with only 3 days of send and return but I still lost all my files due to them thinking it was software related and made me restore it all after an archive and install did not work. As I am typing right now it frustrates me how hot this thing is and thinking of calling Apple for a spanker! I used to use iCurve a lot before but I have stopped for the past month or so and then this happens since it does get way hotter sitting ontop of a desk. I should be able to do this normally thou.

Toughen up, dude. If you can't take a joke, you picked the wrong damn forum...
Apple "Notebooks" (note that they don't call them "Laptops") do get pretty hot. That's probably due to how thin they are. It's pretty normal. Aside from that, I don't really understand the question. The video card crapped out, they fitted a new one. That sort of stuff just happens. |

Now you're really getting silly. There's nothing wrong with or uncommon about calling MacBooks and MacBook Pros "laptops".

Try to find the word "laptop" here http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/ or on any of its sub-pages. For bonus points - search the Apple Support site for "notebook" and then for "laptop", and compare the results. |

To me, laptop and notebook are synonymical, except (obviously) for non-computer contexts. Everything else is pedantry. |

Good thing I did not call it portable computer. That would of been 3 pages of stupidity easily.

You still haven't stated what you did expect from this thread.

Apple did away with calling them laptops a few generations ago due exactly to the fact that they get so uncomfortably hot to be placed on a lap. Remember the term Desktop replacement? or see the video of some guy frying an egg on a TiBook granted not well but still proves the point.
