New MacBook Pro Problems

The problems with the MacBook Pro have been well reported from various sources on the Internet, such as, TUAW and The Red Sweater Blog. Apple has also started a silent recall of certain MacBook Pro machines to replace defective batteries. The main issues previously reported:

1. Too Hot
2. WiFi Problems
3. Too Loud
4. Track Pad problems

I've noticed the Too Hot and Track Pad Problems in my 3 weeks of use. Sadly, I've discovered some new, previously unreported problems, with my machine.

1. Sleep Mode Problems - The MBP frequently fails to come out of sleep mode. I am left to hold down the power button to reboot the machine. This is a very windows like experience for me and a big disappointment.
2. LCD brightness - This seems to be related to the sleep mode problems. Sometimes the machine comes out of sleep mode but the screen is only 10% as bright as it should be. This makes the machine useless. The only way out of this has been to power cycle the machine.
3. WIFI fails to connect. This is different that the previously reported WiFi problems where no network is discovered. In my experience, I can see the network but can't connect. No error message is displayed - it just don't work.

I really like this machine, but Apple needs to address these problems. I know that HW problems are one of the downsides of Apple products and always purchase the AppleCare package. I will be making a trip to the local Apple Store next week. Stay tuned...

Well, why won't people stop whining and go back to the store and demand their money back?

You have paid $$$ for your machine, stop blogging and go back to the store and demand a proper machine.

That sleep mode problem has been around since the G4 Powerbooks. It's too bad that they haven't figured out a fix yet.

the sleep mode is easy to get out of just hit your lcd brighter button.

There's a new sleep mode on the new MBP which often has problems.

You can fix this with a simple UNIX command entered into Terminal.

There's a tutorial here:

[url=http://www.obokmorza.com]Wczasy nad morzem[/url] można spędzać jak tylko nam się zapragnie spędzić , począwszy od małych pensjonacików i motelików, oraz stanic a skończywszy na małych i cichych kurorcikach . Wiele osób planuje wczasy nad morzem dla tego warto zainwestować nieco czasu i pieniędzy by znaleźć wcześniej miejsce i wynająć odpowiednie pokoje dla nas i przeróżne atrakcje odpowiednio wcześniej. Bardzo ważny jest wybór miejsca, które chcemy odwiedzić wraz z rodziną czy bliskimi nam osobami w zależności od tego czy jedziemy sami czy też z rodziną. Nasze wybrzeże oferuje nam bardzo wiele ciekawych i interesujących atrakcji nie tylko w sezonie letnim, ale i również poza sezonem. Warto, więc rozejrzeć się za odpowiednim miejscem, które będzie nam oferować profil wypoczynku, który będzie nam najbardziej odpowiadać. Niektórzy wolą aktywny wypoczynek inni zaś wolą porostu pojechać nad morze po to by się poopalać. Rowerki wodne, skałki, czyste plaże, korty tenisowe i wiele innych ciekawych atrakcji tylko czeka na to by ktoś chciał z nich skorzystać. Oczywiście dla większości z nas głównym wyznacznikiem na pewno będzie cena takich wczasów, więc musimy również rozważyć wiele ofert pod względem atrakcji, które nam oferują i poziomu usług.
