Doesn't the 13 inch model have over-heating issues?

This is from apple support : *discussions.apple.com/thread/2764570?start=0&tstart=0

My guess - and it is just a guess - is that this is related to the switch to the Intel integrated graphics (at least, on the 13" MBPs I have). Since the "GPU" is now on the same die as the CPU, there's no way to spread out the heat generated by graphically intensive tasks. Since my 2010 MBP uses a separate NVIDIA chip, the heat gets spread out over a wider area inside the case.

HELL YEAH !!!!!!!! I am guessing you are not a batman fan :p

And chuck the dell inspiron 14r se. Pretty bad at 62k. Go for the new sony S series at 65k with IPS if you want better display or the samsung np550p if you want ultimate power at 57k. The inspiron 14r se doesnt make any damn sense at all.

Macbook: go for the new one if you have the money that is.

I know, but no point as he wants only Apple or Dell :p

Anyway @OP

If Gaming is not priority then go ahead with Macbook Pro. And of course as mentioned before, MBP 13 does have overheating issue. Just reminding you again before going for it.
Overall its quite nice though, the experience is really much better on a Macbook. The screen, the build, the input devices are all a class above most similar sized Windows laptops.

for most of the softwares that don't run on OS X, you will find counter-parts that do. And if you have to use the same software, you can opt for virtualization solutions or dual-boot between osx and windows.

Thanx for ur quick reply :)

@All
i hv been hearing from some of my frndz thats...since im going to do my btech in computer science...its better for me to use a windows laptop instead of me going for a mac...cos this helps one to learn the computer better...also almost 90% of the world uses windows os...so it will be helpful to work on this os rather than osx...is this true???

Check this video. And I just love the MAC interface. It all boils down to what you want to do with your computer. I do all of my work in mac (presentations, mail, imovie, itunes, quicktime, iphoto, etc.) in my mac. But when the time of playing games arise, I still chose Windows XP (dual-boot).

Not sure of the overheating in newer MBP 13 as I still use the old 2010 model.
But the SB 11inch Air does not heat much.
Many Macs run hot,but they keep on running for years together without any issue.
I would suggest you to look in 13inch Air also,if you dont mind the small storage and slightly inferior screen(infinitely better than most Windows laptop though!)
The latest Air is seriously fast already and it will scream with Mountain Lion!!

Because there are better options from other companies.Much better options.

And seriously try Mac OS before buying. Its a highly overrated OS. Win 7 does all of it with better software support. Unless you are a professional video or sound editor,mac os is useless. The upcoming Win 8 sweeps mac off its feet if you ask me. And yes,very few software run on mac's.

Fanboys will always say:Mac is the best,like windows is something aincient,but I've used both and I feel win 7 is much better. Dont fall for fanboyism. If you want the ultra premium hardware,go for a mac but dont go for it expecting something magical from its OS.
