MacBook Pro problems
April 4th, 2006 by Niranjan Kunwar
I have noticed few issues with MacBook Pro and seems like I’m not the only one. Some of the problems that I’ve noticed are:
- It’s too hot to handle. The heat on back side makes it impossible to put it on your lap and the upper left corner gets heated even when the notebook is idle.
- The whining noise of cpu or fan comes and goes on it’s own and doesn’t depend on whether you’re running some application or not.
- The mouse is lost and appears magically every once a while.
tuaw.com confirms the heat and noise problem. It looks like Apple knew about the problem from the very beginning and is finally fixing it.
We’re sending our MacBook Pro to Apple for repair or replacement. If the replacement looks good I’ll buy one for myself too otherwise I’ll wait for second revision of the MacBook Pro.

I think they’re going to repair instead of replacing it. I’ll let you know how the repaired or replaced MacBook Pro behaves. […]
