Sure, some people haven't had many issues, others, like the original poster had almost all of the know issues. Anyone who would try to deny this has their head in the sand. I think it is great that potential buyers (all of us are at one point or another) can read of many different people's experiences, weigh the pros and cons, and make a much more informed decision than the pre-internet days.Ĭlearly this first generation of macbooks has issues-from heat, to the logic board, to batteries, to thermal grease, and so on. I agree-everyone has the right to use the internet to share their experiences (good and bad) about software and hardware. There are alot of people who have had the same experience's as him with the macbook. Him sharing his experience is not going to make your beautifull macbook go down in value. He is sharing his experience with would be buyers. He is niether spreading rumors nor being a troll I work in a company that has been upgrading their computers with MacBooks and MBpros, and there are only 2 out of 45 that don't run hot, have the whine, or behave the way they are supposed to. most MabBooks have had at the very least 2 issues. It works boths ways, and in the form and verocity its being dished out here, its usually called propaganda.įact is, He had a perticularly rare case of everything going wrong with his rig and you had a rare case of nothing going wrong. My point being, the real conjecture and rumors happening here is coming from you, MW. YOU are willing to buy XP, install it, and risk the integrity of your perfect little machine. I don't use many audio plugins (I have Operator and that's enough for me for now - I don't have money to spend on loads of plugins for Mac or PC) Adobe said before the Macs went on sale that there would be problems and they would not release a UB version until the NEXT releases were due (could be 12 months away) So I bought parallels, installed Dreamweaver, Flash etc on Windows and it's spot on. I also bought mine to develop web sites and was extremely unhappy with the performance of Studio 8 under Rosetta. That was fixed within 2 weeks of its release, and was to do with the ATI Card Kernel.ġ0.4.7. Personally, I bought an iMac 2GHz with 1GB RAM and a 256MB Graphic card and the only problem I experienced was Front Row cutting up on screen. If any one has problems with their macbook pro 15" battery causing random shutdowns and other niggly things, they can get a free battery replacement from apple if your battery is on the list: The part about the Apple store, total cheese. I just don't buy your story dude, it's too fishy. goes back to the total subjectiveness of your "research".Īnyway, I'm doing what I said I wouldn't do, have any interaction with you at all. The line about macbooks having 10X more problems than PC laptops. So you're quoting three times higher prices than I personally have seen. in fact I just tend to think you are making this crap up.Ī comparable Dell is about 350$ cheaper than the macbook pro I own right now, Dell is having a $350 coupon drive. You not only didn't bother to check to see if your windows apps would run in OSX, you didn't bother to see if you could dual boot your macbook. Think very carefully about how completely damming the ramifications of the preceding sentence are. You complain about not being able to use PC only apps, on one of the only macs that can run XP! Supatrigga is Universal Binary, so you didn't do your homework on the Intel macs, even after your "horrible" experience.Ĥ. I have no hardware issues with it period.ģ. Sheesh! No you're a troll because you spread rumors and conjecture based on a highly subjective experience of your own, disregarding all information to the contrary in support of your overreaction.ġ. hold your horses until the issues are fixed. the second revision of macbooks should be coming out soon.
