Default Finally, a laptop can also cook you breakfast!

And it's a Mac!


Alright, so maybe you didn't want such a warm welcome when using your MacBook, but the list of unadvertised capabilities of these heat-emitting notebooks is growing. Most recently a pioneering fellow decided he liked his eggs over hard -- hard drive, that is. While his MacBook was operating within the manufacturer's specifications (read: likely folding for Engadget or some other such process-intensive task), the underbelly of this beast got toasty enough to literally fry an egg. While probably not the most efficient way to fix breakfast, it's definitely among the most entertaining we've seen, and certainly helps substantiate the, ahem, smoking reviews this machine got.

can YOUR PC do that ?


I saw some guy who took his apart and reapplied his thermal paste and it was 30 degrees cooler on average.

lol I couldnt give two shits about "name brand" PCs. They are all fucking junk if you ask me.

And as Dutch said. They are dirt cheap. For 600$ you can get a great little machine, with an LCD screen, a good all around except for gaming. Dirt cheap. Much more then the shit you can get for 600$ in a mac, if you can even get anything for that money in a mac store except an ipod.
