Apple TV is HOT!

Well I’m sure everyone remembers when people where complaining that they could fry and egg on their macbooks. Now an Apple-Group memeber said that the Apple TV gets really hot. Other than the heat he was impressed.

Today I to a grand opening for a local Apple store “CompNow”. It was my first chance to look at Apple TV. They were so busy selling new computers I was given the remotes & left to play away. The TV they had was a Benq HD with HDMI input. I am totally sold on Apple TV now, it does what it claims really well. Picture quality was excellent.My only concern is the very hot temp that Apple TV gets to. The shop had AC & the day was just in the 70’s. But the Apple TV was almost hot enough to boil water. On a summers day I am concerned if Apple TV will cook.They had a comp going to win an Apple TV so hopefully I will be lucky.

I don’t really see why the heat matters. I mean, it’s interesting, but I don’t plan on sitting on my Apple TV. I’m pretty sure I’ve put my hand on my TiVO and felt some heat, too.
As for the APple TV being “hot” (as in, very cool) I agree with that. I tried it out at the Apple Store here in NY. Very incredible.
And, if you put this box in larger contexts — such as Shelly Palmer does in this week’s essay — you see that the Apple TV is “huge.” Meaning, it is going to disrupt cable TV in a big way.

I ment hot in both ways. Hot as in very cool and in heat. I think its a good product but using the case as the heat sink wasn’t the best idea.

I went into an Apple store today, and yes, they are very hot (in both ways!) Although to me it seemed like a Front Row with an updated UI, which could connect to your tv.
