You do have more ram and a better processor though, but "problems" is it extremely hot in the back or not? :P not maybe a problem but if it is I'd like to know

On the upper left corner, especially when the computer is plugged to the wall, it gets somewhat hot. Somewhat hot = me being able to keep playing or working for hours just fine. Fans are getting loud and they never seem to back down though. However, thats normal from what I know for the whole industry ;)

Ah thanks for the answers, I just tried now and it seems too scary - after 1 minute gameplay it's 100 C with all settings low, although it looks like it can handle it just fine, but 10 + really is too hot for me, maybe its your processor that does the difference ^^

In my opinion you should take the computer to an expert and check it out. Unless you are using the computer on an improper surface or something, this 100+ celsius degrees isn't normal!!! You could always be unlucky and instead of an Apple you got a Lemon :$

Is it not overheating fast? Did you increase fan speed? Thanks in advance

[appleseedas]

No problems whatsoever. Didn't increase fan speed or anything. Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 at the moment with WoW 64 bit client version 5.0.5 (16135).
