Sounds good that, I've often been concerned by the acrid smell of plastic on occasion.

it also displays your macbook temperature alongside the fan speed.Last edited by Papershop; 26-08-2009 at 12:30 AM.

I use it quite a bit if the MacBook just doesn't keep up, why it doesn't put the fan on full speed when I am exporting from iMovie, god only knows.

I had this on my MacBook and it sucked, because it wouldn't turn off. I have a Targus chill-mat and it works mint!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.
