So this was my first Macbook Pro (until I got the new Unibody). I had a terrible time with this computer. It had troubles with the graphics card and it would overheat like crazy no matter what I did. I sent it in three times then had to do the silly email Steve Jobs thing. Got a call the next day from an executive customer support lady and she helped me greatly with it. They ended up giving me a whole new computer through all of this (thank god). But I was just wondering if any of you ever had...
Regardless of whether I get the 13" or 15" MBP, just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with SSD drives that come with Macbooks. They seem to be a bit overpriced still and I may just get the faster 7200rpm HDD for the extra $90. But if anyone has any recommendation on hard drive options I'd appreciate it. Thanks
The Mac forums have a ton of similar questions but I'd thought I'd like to get some pro opinions on here. I'm in the market for a new Macbook and debating the 13" vs. the 15". Other than the obvious screen real estate, are the benefits worth the presumable loss of portability? Anyone make the switch in the past and have any feedback?? Thanks
I just got rid of my Macbook Pro, but I was wondering if other people had some of the common problems I did. The latch constantly would stick -- to the point where I'd have to almost rip the lid open and the superdrive died on it 3 times (thank god for applecare). Are these normal for other people?

Apple has downgraded the SATA Interface from 3.0Gbit to 1.5Gbit speeds in the new 13" and 15" MacBook Pros. I was hoping to upgrade the hard drive to the new, very fast Intel SSD, but this slower interface speed slows down SSDs. Does anybody know if Apple plans to return to the 3 Gbit speed?
Ok fellow owners, we know this thing gets HOT, especially on the left side with gaming and heavy web usage. Aside from your standard cooling pads, or stingy power settings, what ideas can we come up with that will help chill this beast? My ideas: 1. carve fins into the unibody 2. drill a couple of holes somewhere (the side? bottom?) to improve airflow 3. get a heatsink manufacturer to create a USB attachment/hub (stupid 2 USB limit...) that uses heatpipes or something to suck heat directly from...
