    I'm thinking of getting a Macbook and I see a few people here have them. I have read about them over heating and staining after a few weeks. Has anyone here seen that?

    Im thinking of getting a macbook too. But Im 99% getting one. I think the staining thing is only happening to a minority of users.

    My friend has one. It doesnt get THAT hot. Very nice machine. Very quick with handbrake! Renders in real time- perfect quality when bit rates are at about 1000.
