Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:20:00 GMT http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/ It only took 'em a year and a half to do it, but the ginormous monstrosity that is Apple MacBookPro 85W MagSafe power adapters have finally seem to have been reduced to a more manageable size. The same $80 that before got you the rather large 1st gen A1172 brick will now bring you home a 2nd gen MA938LL/A model that's sized closer in size to a MacBook 60W adapter, but still manages to crank out enough juice for your silver-clad Intel-based Mac laptop. Fri, 20 Jul 2007 23:26:00 GMT http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/07/18/apple_struggling_to_meet_demand_for_new_led_lit_notebooks.html The Cupertino-based Mac maker, which refreshed its MacBook Pro systems with Intel's Santa Rosa-based underpinnings during the first week of June, has yet to catch up with demand for the new LED-lit 15-inch models. In recent weeks, in fact, the firm appears to have fallen further behind. Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:26:00 GMT http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/07/18/macbook_apple_support_hell/ Can you run a business using a MacBook? No, is my answer. My experience with a new MacBook, which turned out to be a complete and utter lemon, and my battle with Apple's derisory customer service nearly sent me bananas, lost me thousands of pounds worth of freelance journalism and consultancy work, and left me with a burn mark on my arm. This camel's back was truly broken. Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:59:00 GMT http://www.hardmac.com/news/2007-07-17/#7009 Within couple of weeks, we received reports about issues concerning the MagSafe plug shipped with the first MacBook Pro. The problem is mostly localized at the junction between the cord and the MagSafe plug. It seems that the electrical cable is twisting and rolling on itself inside the plastic enclosure and at the end gets either cut or reduced, leading to overheating or even more.

Cool as in temperature, not cool as in Mark Shuttleworth. Macs are awesome, of course. This goes without saying. But it also goes without saying that you can fry eggs on the MacBook Pros (and the Powerbook G4s before them). I have third-degree burns from long blogging sessions.
