Mine comes fromWeek 16 of production (you can tell from the serial number) and never gets hotter than the pleasant "laptop massage" setting. however, i am miffed that the x1600 GPU is apparently underclocked. lame on Apple's part for sure. anywho, i too have been cursed with "the whine" while on battery, andfigured that it had to be bad software since there was no problem in XP. my temporary workaround has been to delete the IOPlatformPluginFamily.ktext file from /system/library/extensions/ . some say it hurts battery life, but working in silence is worth it until the problem gets patched. well, relative silence. i also have the infamous "mooing fan" sometimes (again, only in OSX and not XP) but i find it funny rather than annoying, and it is so soft i can only hear it in a dead silent room. sorry to hear that you MBP gets too hot.
