Off Topic / I'm done with Apple's macbooks.

1. I have my 15" macbook for a year at least. According to MacRumors forum and Apple's support, ~60C° is a normal temperature for an idling notebook. When trying to play a game, the macbook's temp goes to ~80C°. I know, it's ridiculous. The keyboard itself becomes uncomfortable to use, and the upper panel near the screen is hot to the touch. It can literally burn your hand if you touch it. YET IS STILL CONSIDERED A NORMAL TEMPERATURE BY APPLE. HOW CAN SOMETHING HOT TO THE TOUCH BE NORMAL IN A NOTEBOOK'S SURFACE?
2. The game I was trying to play was Team Fortress 2. The fps was stuttering so horrible at medium settings that the game was unplayable. And so was the sound.
3. I'm left-handed. The USB slots are in the left side of the macbook. If I plug in my mouse, I have to move the mouse away from the macbook a bit or else I'll collide with the USB stick and accidentally deconnect the mouse. I know, Apple has it's magic mouse that only use bluetooth, but it's literally impossible to play games using the magic mouse. I'd rather play a game with a 2-button mouse.

Has anyone else had any bad experiences with the Macbook? Post.
