I appreciate the commentary that I received in response to my list of 10 things that I dislike about my new Retina. I’d hate to put more fuel into the fire, but I figured some of this feedback needs clarification: I spent three of the last four weeks away from home on three different continents. […]
MacBook “Pro” Retina impressions. (Probably the last Mac I will ever buy after being a loyal customer for three decades.) Dude, where is my gigabit ethernet port? Where do I insert my CD? Why do some media show up in quarter size in full screen? Oh, that’s retina. Doh! Updating a knowledge base document named “Avoiding […]
On my 17″ MBP (Mid-2010) running 10.8.2, I have been noticing jumping and submarining mouse pointer only in Mail, and specifically when a new message is being put together, and only in the area of message body entry. Has anyone noticed this, and if so, is there a remedy? Thanks in advance. ©2013 EthnoSync.com. All […]
Just to chime in my 2¢ regarding Apple’s announcements. Don’t care about retina display. Sure, I like more pixels just like the next guy. But I cannot see them, especially considering that I am not 20 anymore. I do like my 17″ MacBook Pro, because it has the highest density of pixels before retina, and it […]
On my brand new 17″ Mac Book Pro with i5, my battery lasts around 4 hours to run down. This seems to be related to the graphics card, as that the discrete card seems to be kicking in too aggressively. In my case, it was the SlingPlayer that kept it on. Next thing I want […]
Look at the second line from the bottom, which BTW is mind boggling. Why would Apple, of all tech companies, take the latest 64 bit processor from Intel, and then run the OS in 32 bits on it. While I have not tested with the i7, I presume that the results would be the same, […]
This morning, Apple updated the Mac Book Pro line. Surprisingly, they decided not to offer the Quad Core of Intel i7 processors (i7-820QM, or i7-720QM). Instead, they are offering the dual core i7-620QM or the i5-540QM. The difference between i7-720QM and i5-620QM is 4 MB vs. 3 MB of smart on-board cache and 2.66 GHz […]
According to MacRumors.com, the 4-core MacBook Pro sporting Intel’s i5 and/or i7 mobile CPUs will be introduced this coming week. These CPUs were introduced by Intel in January, code named Arrandale, and subsequently, every laptop manufacturer under the sun brought out products using these CPUs, except Apple. Speculation on the street was that Apple’s engineering […]
My MacBook Pro 17″ has the common issue of waking up from sleep during transportation. Despite owning it for 7-8 months, I did not want to take it back as it is a relatively common problem with many people reporting that taking it back did not resolve this issue. To avoid shutting it down, I […]
