MacBook Pro actually, this is my primary machine for everything blog and internet. The iMac gets much less use which is unfortunate but it doesn’t set on my lap!

I also use a MacBookPro, which I love. It has a SSD drive,so no fan! And I also have an older iMac desktop which I have not used in a few years. Both are great machines!

I never put my laptop on my lap because the fan would be blocked and it heats up enough as it is (especially if I have graphics on the screen).

Graphics indeed! The Mac gets hot processing photos, the fan kicks in and brings the temp down swiftly.

Exactly, so if I block the fan by putting the thing on my lap, it wouldn’t be able to cool off. So why do they call it a laptop if you can’t put it on your lap?

I assume it’s something particular to your machine? The MacBook doesn’t draw from underneath.

I haven’t used a desktop computer at home since 2009. I still have a vintage Quick Silver Mac G4, but I haven’t fired it up in years.

Wow! I had to look that machine up! It looks nice, maybe you should try powering the old machine up?

It still works. I have to get old files off of it from time to time. But it’s not much use unless I need to do something very legacy.

Legacy indeed. Does it have that slower revolutions per minute hard drive? I’m no expert but I think there are two different speeds?

There are many different speeds for hard drives. Standard SATA drives come in speeds from 5,400 rpm to 15,000 rpm. The QuickSilver has 7200 RPM drives. I have 10K rpm and 15K rpm drives in servers at the office.

I posted my laptop also today. Funny. I almost bought a MAC but for that reason and not being able to double monitor it, I didn’t.

Hi! I saw your HP machine a bit ago. I never thought of going split screen on a mac, the quality of these machines has made the extra cost well worth the money. They just run and run, update maybe every couple months or so.

It’s easy to do multiple monitors on a Mac. I have an all Mac office and all staff have two monitors whether using a desktop, Macbook or iPad.

If your a business, great. I’ve people use double monitors at home too, I have zero need for it. More companies should use them, they are far superior to anything Windows. It’s the software compatibility that’s the issue I suppose…
