MacBook Woe
[ rakaur on Mon Apr 03 at 12:38 PM // category: apple, hardware, technology ]
Apparently Apple has acknowledged most of the MacBook Pro issues, and is actually silently fixing them with new hardware revisions straight from the factory, but didn’t bother to tell anyone. The latest revisions have serial numbers that start with W8612, and apparently shouldn’t have any of the reported problems.
But there’s a problem: my MBP serial starts with W8612, and I still have issues. Thankfully, none of them are issues that bother me enough to drive into St. Louis, sit at an Apple store, have some condescending guy tell me what I already know, and just give me a new one. A new one that probably has the identical problems. The only reported problems I have is that a) it gets really fucking hot, and; b) the CPU whine, which has been acknowledged by Apple as “normal” for now, but will probably be fixed with a Software Update. The heat issue is a non-issue because it was probably my fault for putting it on my bed (“do not rest on a soft unstable surface”). It’s barely warm on my desk.
So how about them Apples.
