    Wow, that is a ton of pictures! Too bad the review is not in English though. I would have liked to read it.

    That is quite a lot of pictures. Funny, a lot of the pictures I took of my MacBook for my upcoming review is very similar to the way that reviewer took pics of the MacBook Pro.

    That is good. Of some reviews (from the more "official" sites like CNET, Trusted Review and such) i like theirs the most... CNET is bses.
    But NBR has the greatest resource of all!

    Trusted Reviews is very thorough and detailed, I like that. CNET Reviews ain't great. Bad comparisons, weird pro/cons. All Dan Ackerman's fault ;). PCMag reviews is a little better than CNET. Not really detailed but at least they don't have weird ratings (like CNET giving a Dell Inspiron higher than the ASUS G1 :confused:).

    I think PC Magazine's reviews are just as bad as CNET's reviews. I just started looking at Laptop Magazine's reviews. They seem OK so far.

    so turns out that macbook pro suck air in over keyboard and blows out back , so that explains why theres no option not to let it sleep when u close the lid , apple had to sacrifice something in order to make a cool looking machine, so people do not install insomniax and let run mbp with closed lid that may cause some severe heat issue , it is already hot as hell

    My alienware has air intake at the bottom of the computer, but the fans suck so hard that some of the air comes through the keyboard. I consider this a feature. :D
