I'd hold off on getting a MacBook pro for a bit if I were you. There are 
a lot of recent reports of problems with them overheating, due to too 
much thermal grease on the processor...

... the result is the real temperature of the processor is not picked up 
by the thermal sensors (due to too much grease insulating the sensors), 
thus the system overheats and dies. Rectifying this problem is simple, 
but if you remove some of the grease yourself, you invalidate the 
warranty. Getting Apple to do it for you might cost you $$'s

I've just been reading about this off of the SomethingAwful forums (who 
Apple have already ridiculously threatened to sue, after a member posted 
a page containing a link to the engineers manual, showing how to fix the 
problem).... *sigh*
