A fair few buyers of Apple latest generation of 15in and 17in MacBook Pros have begun complaining that their new machines are locking up when asked to perform a task that sets the second-gen Intel Core i CPU racing.
Apple's support forum contains a lengthy thread full stories of fans' freezing MacBook Pros.
Many of the users who state their system specs note the presence of a Core i7 processor, a four-core chip. Apple also ships machines with dual-core CPUs, both Core i5 and i7 variants.
It's also important to point out that some forum contributors have had no problem with their machines, even those with the quad-core processors. The issue seems to be striking folk with a 2.2GHz or higher Core i7.
Hihihhihi, za ove sto im se glave novi MacBook Pro-ovi se slobodno moze reci - "Fashion victims"
Ste hteli lepo i tanko? Moze, nema frke - samo nemojte da zakucate CPU na 100% dugo vremena... ima da ode u PROCHOT ;-)
Jos jedan dokaz da kod Apple-a dizajn uvek ima veci prioritet od dobrog inzenjeringa... Cuj dobrog, razumnog je jos bolji termin.
Interestingly, Mac repair specialist iFixit.com noted excessive application of thermal grease - used to thermally couple the CPU and GPU to their respective coolers - in the 15in MacBook Pro and noted that "time will tell if the gobs of thermal paste applied to the CPU and GPU will cause overheating issues down the road".
Past MacBook Pros - particular the first of the line back in 2006 - were criticised for containing excessive amount of thermal grease, and some of them also experienced freeze issues. A number of the machines were replaced by Apple for "faulty logic boards", but whether this was code for the thermal grease excess, generic system failures or a specific motherboard problem was never revealed.
Izgleda su Apple "inzenjeri" mislili da ce nabijanje jos vise termalne paste da resi fundamentalni problem lose ventilacije...
Mora da je to isti department koji je smislio onu antenu.
