“Consumer Reports issued a preliminary report on The New iPad [sic] today with a full report to be released on Friday. Its preliminary finding was simply that The New iPad can heat up to 116 degrees Farentheit when playing games and when plugged in,” Darcy Travlos reports for Forbes. “This was the only commentary on the new device, which is generating a lot of commentary and is the only negative review of the product.”
“Let’s put these findings in context. First, let’s compare Apple’s The New iPad’s 116 degrees F, under specific conditions, to laptops. We can all remember using laptop computers on our laps, and noticing them warming up even under the most basic use (word documents or excel spreadsheets), and then moving the lap top to another surface,” Travlos reports. “Despite their warmth, the convenience of mobile use exceeded any inconvenience of warmth. And, despite this issue, adoption of laptops over time far exceeded that of their predecessor, desktops.”
“Second, I reviewed many different forums, including the HP Support Forum, which said that laptops typically operated at 50-60 degrees C (which equate to 122-140 degrees F), and when gaming, they can go to 80 degrees C (176 degrees F),” Travlos reports. “So, Apple’s The New iPad under the most grueling conditions heats up to less than a laptop under normal conditions. Therefore, when put in context, Apple’s The New iPad temperatures could be viewed as an improvement over the alternatives.”
