That handle for the Mac Pro is really great. I also like the idea of using it as a heat sink to tilt the machine. I currently have the fan pad and it works okay but would not be great to lug around. I like to use a mouse versus the track pad for some of the work I do. Is there a bluetooth or wireless mouse I could use with the Mac Pro without using a bluetooth keyboard?
The one thing I note here is that if I use the laptop as the main computer, I will still need to invest in some peripherals to make it viable. What do you use at home to hook all these peripherals into so you don¹t have to keep pulling the cords in and out each time you use it at home. I have 2 printers, 1 scanner, 2 extra hard drives, DSL router and wireless router.

Both really use the CPU so I would expect that. Now heat is a subjective term so what is hot to one is not hot to someone else. Two items to help. software: Fan control http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/ Fan pad http://tinyurl.com/3y848t I use the FanControl software when it gets hot for me. I really don't want to drag around the Fan pad.
