IF YOU WANT A STRESS FREE LIFE AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES OR LEARNING TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION THEN DO NOT BUY AN APPLE COMPUTER PARTICULARLY A MACBOOK PRO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES…..OVER 18 MONTHS APPLE HAVE GIVEN ME 4 REPLACEMENT LAPTOPS.
1ST Powerbook lasted 5 days
2nd Powerbook had flickering screen
3rd Powerbook had unexplained s/ware problems
4th replacement was MACBOOK PRO.(had to be returned as the memory card incorrectly correctly).

BEST FEATURES:
Overpriced
Safari memory leaks so you have to force quit browser.
Crashes – so you have to pull the battery out to switch off
They get unbelievably hot to touch
They are noisy – the fan comes on A LOT (not helped by safari memory leakage)
Mail preferences change – view etc
etc etc etc

2. my button on my trackpad is “funky” on the left side.

3. I placed the laptop on my desk and looked at it at eyelevel; I found that it was bowing in the middle of the laptop! The little rubber nubs on the bottom of the laptop weren’t even touching the desk!

4. I placed a cd in to upload pics frmo my dell laptop and I found it to be very loud!

5. As I’m tying this, the laptop is on my lap and it is excessively hot! Like seriously!

I just got this 4 hours ago! How can things have gone so wrong? I though Apple was superior in quality? I have a Dell laptop (fairly new) and I purchased thsi Apple for personal/music production.

As soon as I got home from the office, I called Apple Care and I really don’t know which is better; Dell technicians that can’t speak English very well or snobby Apple technicians. Anywho, I called and told them the situation, I was on the phone for about 20 minutes total. They are sending me a replacement as soon as I ship this laptop back (which will be first thing tomorrow morning!). I’m also getting a $50 credit for this mess. I must say that this experience has been very disappointing. If Apple’s replacement has anything wrong with it, I’m done. I will request a full refund, and they can take their piece of shit back. They won’t get any of my business.

When I pay twice as much for a laptop, I expect twice the quality.

Thanks for reading, and I hope this helped.

ps. I will be posting an update when I receive the replacement.

KEYWORDS: overheating mac book pro, mac book pro issues, mac book pro problems, defects with mac book pro

but it turn out to be opposite.

1) MAcbook is slow:

when u run the macbook , they say that 512 MB or more is taken by Rossete or what ever , i dono why they say to make OSX compatible with intel , but its slower then window
I mean whats the point of having any operating system which is slower then window and that to mac

2) Heat :

i took a small 13′ stuff so that i can carry any where , in plane , in gardern , in meeting and what bull shit , it gets heated up so much that i cant keep it in my lap
infact now i try to keep it in AC or shut it down after some time so as to bring its temp normal, and right now i have not started any programing or stuff, its worst then having AMD processor.

3) battery

the charged batteries only work for 3 hours when you do nothing, the moment you start playing song or some thing then the battery start decreasing like an exponential function with negative power.
i wonder what will happen if i carry this stuff with me in plane and run my code.

in all i found that apple waste to much time and money just in decorating it like a women and not making it upto date with the user problem.

i guess the apple launch intel processor some time back and if they wanted they would have come out with a solution in less then 1 or 2 month.

also the heating problem is very old , it was there in G4 and now in mac instead of reducing it they have even increased it.

I am seriously upset with apple
if any one wants to buy my 2 weeks old macbook (2 Ghz,1 Gb Ram , 120 Gb Hard disk , white ) in 1400 then contact me.

At the end of the day with the whole cars thing maybe you do know more than me maybe you don’t the point I was making, was that you missed the point I was not trying to talk about cars I was trying to highlight how his question was unreasearched and stupid he could have done some looking around before hand but he chose to be lazy anybody who can work out how to post on a blog must know how to use Google and could quite easily find out that kind of info. Mi amigo. And yes I’ve taken vista for a test drive and its shit like all windows os’s before it. It’s plagued with bugs already and do you know why? Because it will never be stable there are to many configurations of hardware for it to work out as opposed to Mac which if I have a problem with gets fixed quickly because several hundred thousand people have the same problem because they have the same machine and the same os with the same configuration and the same apps. And wtf has 1 terabyte of ram got to do with anything? get your tech head out of the clouds you would not be able to afford that amount of ram for a start and I cant think of a single app (maybe if it was being a server) that could use such amounts of ram so what’s the point? Your problem my friend is that you see numbers and specs but in the real world its just people using office on pc’s if you’re a creative (to coin an apple term) then you use a Mac. why? Because windows is crap it’s a swamp teaming with all sorts of nasty things whereas OSX is a sterile operating table in comparison. People who need to work creatively don’t want to have anti virus and firewalls running and start ending processes to free up ram you can do it, but why bother when you can just switch on a Mac and work without a second thought for what’s going on regarding system resources. You know it’s the truth. And to be honest I don’t care what machine you run and how much it costs I’m happy with my Mac it runs OSX for my music production software and can dual boot xp for my games I’m not playing catch up with technology there’s no point you can never EVER win 8 core’s or 2 doesn’t matter to me. I don’t think your 2 year old HP laptop stands up to my MBP and if it does then it’s a brick of a machine weighing like 9 pounds my MBP is about 6 pounds? (I think) and is 1 inch thin and a design classic. What are you talking about there are no apps for it? I have over 70 and they are all UB. cant run x86 well erm how do you figure that? It’s an x86 chipset hence it only runs x86 os’s/apps if it runs anything else it’s emulated. Showbiz 2? Never heard of it. Final Cut and Adobe Premier are industry standard, so the industry must be talking crap and you know best. As if

Ohh and my mbp doesn’t overheat you have obviously been taken in by the scaremongering also

As far as the car… the McLauren isn’t even close to the fastest. The bugati is slow as well. That wasn’t really the point. Ford also released “The UFO” as a concept car a few years back, and it’s even hard to find on the internet. It was going to be the fastest car ever made, street legal or not. There is a small car that looks alot like a go cart that travels at over 300 mph, and is street legal. And costs 750,000 dollars. You know mainstream, and because of it, have no clue what you are doing mi amigo. Have you taken vista for a test drive yet? Since macs still can’t use 1 terabyte of RAM, and Vista can? hmmm… lookie there. The MBP overheats, can’t run older mac programs well, can’t run x86 well, and has only a few programs for itself. But yes, run right out and buy “cutting edge” (ha, compared to the intel hps that will have 8 cores coming out next summer, or even the 4 cores (like the mac quad) hp is releasing, as a laptop, this year).
Dell’s running half life two? hmmm… I’ve seen 45 or so in the last month. Maybe more, I lost count after about 40. And no, I’m not exaggerating. When I was working at the Georgia Governor’s Honors program this past summer there were kids with laptops more powerful than Apple has ever seen. I, personally, brought my work laptop, which is somewhere on the order of a 4500 dollar machine, without all the programs. about 1.2 milloin afterward. Thank goodness I don’t have to pay for it. Lessee, high def with DVD-RAMS, which btw, are an evil technology, with a 23 inch screen and a 200 gig internal hdd without the external one I keep with me. Yes, your mbp is SOOOO very impressive. Bah. The hp im on right now is better, and it’s 2 years old.
thanks again. And this will be my last pro-windows post for a while btw. It’s just… vista is so much better than xp, and so much better than anything apple has ever dreamed.
