Apple finished transitioning all of it’s computers over to Intel when it released the Mac Pro and the xserve. And they also recently upgraded the iMac’s to Intel Core 2 Duo’s. Which are 64-bit and run up to 50% faster than the Core Duo’s.
All the MacBooks use the Core Duo’s, and have a 13-inch widescreen glossy display. The computers themselves are very nice, I love mine.
My dad and I was the “first group” to buy them. As in we bought them when the products just came out, before all the small bugs were fixed. And it just so happens that both of our MacBooks were models that needed the heatsink replaced.
The problem was that the PMU (Power Management Unit) had some heat issues, and would randomly shut off. My dad’s computer only took about 2-3 weeks to develop, while mine took about 2 months to develop. But either way, they both needed repairs.
And I really don’t mind this. I know Apple’s products are good once they become stable, and I’m pretty sure most of the MacBooks rolling out of the factories are stable now. So if you’re thinking of getting one, now is a good time.
I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.
