1. What is the normal cpu temperature (idle/load, celsius) for this model? Varies with ambient air and graphics activity.
Mine is 38-70C. 2. Are the fans very noisy?
Not for me, but I don't play with games. Expect loud fans when playing games. Fans usually go high speed at 75C.
3. Which version of OSX is most suitable for this model (smooth performance+app support)? Latest is always best, so OS 10.9.2.
Apple never had a "Visa-crisis" or a "Windows 8-crisis". 4. Is this model prone to failures?
Any other known problems? No unusual failure reports. Software issue with display shimmer; fix is update software.
Much has been made of this trifle online. 5. How long should the battery last?
(new original battery, low-medium cpu/gpu load) 400-600 cycles. Some people use battery almost always, so they go through 300 or more cycles per year. My 2010 has 67 cycles, like new.
0-0.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
