Sure they look friendly, lingering in the Best Buy Mac section but it’s all just a ruse.
Recently, on one of my many notebook shopping junkets I stopped in to Best Buy to have a gander at a MacBook Air. Knowing that Apple’s notebooks sometimes suffer from heat I checked the base. It was cool to the touch.
I clicked the power profile and it was ‘Custom.’ I set it to normal and decided to come back a little later to see what the temp was like. The store was quiet and I could see that apart from the black shirted Apple guy the area was clear. About 30 minutes later I came back to check on my project but the power was set back to ‘Custom.’
Apple guy was watching me with a smug look on his face. Maybe he thought I was some misguided Windows apologist here to sabotage his display unit. I told him what I was trying to do and he stated tht there is no heat issue. I could tell that if I repeated my experiment he would again foil my efforts so I bought something else instead.
My unsubstatiated opinion is that the memo is out re: MacBook Air heat issues and he was doing his duty to conceal the notebooks heat issues.
