So, the MacBook Pro 17″ hardware gen 1 arrived today. Although it has already been used long enough for an I.T. Guy[0] to install OS and a few apps, there are no visible signs of heat-related warping, charring or exploding… yet.
I think this is probably the 1,024th web site to do the “oooh, look at my new MacBook!” thing…
Things… seem to be in order. No visible warping. Nothing on fire.
Note the absence of a charred stump at the wrist on my left arm…
Note the same on my right arm. Some bloating, but not related to MBP heat issues.
Things seem squared away. This laptop will never be this clean again, so it’s another good reason I took this picture: memories.
So, at the end of phase one, I can state:
1. The MacBook Pro was not on fire when it arrived.
2. There was no visible heat-related warping when it arrived.
3. I had more or less two functioning hands when it arrived.
We will stick with this story as long as we have to.
