New higher spec device runs hotter than predecessor. Who’d of thought?

I picked up my new iPad a few days ago. I like the way it’s keeps my fingers warm :slight_smile:
Justified the purchase because I need to see that my videos run okay on an iPad… it does have a very nice screen.

My HP laptop multitasks. When I fly it fries my hot dog and roasts my buns at the same time…

Oh honey let’s have a boo at those buns…

Re: Apple’s new iPad investigated for reports of excess heat

Well as people probably know by now I have a love/hate relationship with Apple, and this doesn’t surprise me in the least. Even after all my complaints though, I’m probably going to break down and buy a bloody Ipad, if for no other reason then I want to read Dominic’s magazine. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Apple’s new iPad investigated for reports of excess heat

No they will simple advertise that as an undocumented feature.

Not only can you surf the web but you can warm your hands on those cold evenings.

I quote Rob…

Not rocket since as Rob pointed out. The Ipad is slightly thicker due to a larger battery. A larger battery = more heat. Duh!
