Louie:

This is an absolutely beautiful set of system icons. Furthermore, I had been looking for a new, photorealistic internal drive icon, and your design is perfect. I also think that the Apple...

Photo Booth Eliminates Processor Noise 1,211 Views / 7 Replies  
As reported in the Apple Support Discussion Forums by a number of users, opening and then minimizing Photo Booth eliminates the CPU humming sound. This noise (a "whine" or "humm") seems to occur when...

MBP Humming Noise 2,401 Views / 10 Replies  
My 2.0 Ghz MBP makes a very low humming sound, kind of like my G4 did when the processor was set to full performance. However, my MacBook Pro does it at all energy settings. Has anyone else noticed...

Unboxed my 2.0 Ghz, 7,200 RPM 100 GB, 1 GB RAM, MBP 30 minutes ago. Unreal that it went from Alaska to Ft. Lauderdale in 36 hours. Battery at 95%, 15 minutes until full. Pulled the MagSafe connector...

Check out http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=102 for new unboxing pics and some great comparison shots to the G4 Powerbook. New LCD looks amazing. Still no word on battery life (as of 6 AM ET - 2/21).

An interesting analysis tomchu. One has to agree that your figures certainly indicate that we won't be getting five hours of battery life. Hopefully we'll get better than 2, though. The Acer...

By a "day", I meant 8 hours, give or take, of light duty use, with brief, random periods of sleep. Guess I was exaggerating a bit for dramatic effect. I'd be happy to get 4 hours.

Perhaps MBP battery life is another brilliant marketing strategy 2,924 Views / 44 Replies  
I predict that the MacBook Pro will have stunning battery life (i.e. five hours or more). At this point, it is the only reasonable outcome of this issue. Who believes that Apple does not know how...

I am stunned by the complaints. I have a 2 year old, Rev. C 1.5ghz 15" Powerbook, and the new "ProBook" seems like an incredible upgrade. Much faster perfomance, much brighter, higher resolution...
