I picked up an open box 1.83 macbook pro from an apple reseller. I tried it out in the store checked for any pixel or other issues saw none so I got it. I saved a few hundred because the box had been open. I have had it for a week heat seems to be hot but undercontrol. It is running at 22 degrees c. I have seen it at 40. The only issue is the whine. It is very faint and quit. I can't hear it now but have heard it before in a quiet room. I downloaded quietMBP and set at 40 the whine is gone. The questions is should I take it back due to the whine issue. Is the whine issue a major problem that will damge the machine and cause a service call. I can live with the whine but don't want it to develop into a more serious problem. I was going to sell my intel imac because both machines are so similar now not sure what to do. Any advice.

Sell your iMac now then after the WWDC get your current MBP replaced with a new one with the money gained from the iMac.

I think sell the MBP. It has a defect and you aren't going to make much from it long-term as it has already been updated twice since that model came out - if a new model comes out at WWDC you will make less from it again. The iMac is a decent desktop machine and it won't give you any problems.

40 c is not hot.
22 c is room temperature. You can only hear the whine in a quiet room? Who cares then? |

40 celsius is ridiculously cool for an MBP.
