I could be wrong, but I think Merom is 64-bit and has a larger L2 cache. Also, it runs quite a bit cooler than the Yonah.

Hehe...from all the early info I've heard, it seems intel is having trouble making merom meet temperature specs (i.e. it's running too hot). It *might* be pushed back as a result. At any rate, 64bit doesn't matter much, everything out right now is 32bit anyway.

If by finest you mean apple using.....

poorly constructed keyboards

The eject key looks like it's not set properly, but there's no fixing it. Apple quality control at its best.

Power connectors that catch fire

the MagSafe connector caught on fire and burned both the power adapter and MacBook Pro beyond repair.

crappy batteries

[*] Going from a full charge to 90% capacity and then immediately losing power
[*]Losing significant capacity
[*]The battery meter LED blinks at 1 block or doesn't respond

poor networking adapters

[*]AirPort does not automatically rejoin a preferred network after waking up from sleep mode.
[*]AirPort would drop down to nearly 1 block randomly once in a while.

Runs hotter than the burning fires of hell

Heat is a big issue. The MacBook Pro gets so hot that I cannot place it on my lap if I'm wearing shorts. And even if I am wearing pants, it's still very uncomfortable. Using the AC power, the palm rest area becomes very warm, and the area above the F keys is very hot.

Then I guess Apple does make the finest hardware in the world.

It's a little late for the April fools jokes don't you think?

 

[ElFenix]

about the power connector, it was later found out that the guy's cat peed on it.

about the running hot, they've supposed to have fixed it.

i'll bet they've fixed a lot of the other problems you're complaining about. but, hate away anyway.

Of course a bunch of issues will be reported when a product becomes a megahit! Ten problems out of say a 100,000 units sold isn't a bad record. Most importantly, none of these problems compromise user data.

Have you reapplied the TIM on the CPU and GPU yet?

Are you implying that Windows machines compromise data? 😕

You should read the thread before posting questions that make no sense and have poor grammar, i.e. "how does"... moving on.

He was saying that the hardware problems on the Macbook Pro do not compromise user data. No mention of Windows was made.

I am guessing you seem to think that he was implying Windows machines compromise Data. No mention of operating systems were made. Considering a Mac can runs Windows, that would mean it also comprises data, right?

No. To finalize, he was simply saying that the specific problems with the MACBOOK PRO (which were noted in the thread) do not compromise user data.

No, I thought he was implying that Windows machines (aka machines not made by Apple Computers) suffer from flaws that compromise user data.

So.... nonApple built computers are for windows? Like those Sun machines, SGI boxes, etc. eh?

loving my MBP 2Ghz. Need more memory though, 1GB is NOT enough for enterprise java development. While it's not perfect, it's easily the best laptop out of the five laptops I've owned (HP NC8000, Inspiron 9200, Latitude C840, and Latitude CSx500). I wish the MBP had a better video card, didn't get quite as hot, and had an SD card slot. Other than that, this laptops kicks ass!

you lucky bitch.

enjoy it 🙂

<-- Same boat. Was building an Opteron machine, decided to get a MBP, got sticker shock, went back to building my Opteron machine. 15.4" 2ghz MBP + 2gb ram + 7200rpm 100gb hdd + student discount = ~$2600. Opteron machine = $1600 (7900gt to boot!). *sigh* If they really do release a 13.3" MacBook next week I might still jump ship though...

You're not missing out on much. Get an IBM/lenovo laptop, you'll be happier.

Not really. For the same price you're getting a machine that runs a better OS. Feature wise the two are about the same (T60p vs MBP).
I suppose it won't be long before your partner in crime, Mango, chimes in and the two of you get to trolling. So I think I'll leave this thread now.
