MacBook issues: heat… ‘moo’… yellowing… ANTS???
Dave Caolo at The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) is running a poll on users' MacBook/Pro experience
"Yesterday, we pointed out an article at Infinite Loop that was describing yet another (allegedly) melting MagSafe connector. Many of you wrote in to state that your MacBook/Pro experience has been trouble-free. Still, the issues people are having are very real, so let's take a brief (and informal) poll.
"How has your MacBook/Pro experience been? Is it noisy, hot, discolored...melting? Is it a dream come true, the best laptop you've ever used? Leave your answer below, and check back tomorrow for the results.
"How has your MacBook/Pro experience been?
- It's been a nightmare
- I've had minor issues
- It's been a dream!
The poll results aren't available yet but the article has already attracted 52 comments, some of them about the poll itself - and one about ants:
"what if the first 3 units you had recieved were a nightmare and the 4th was a dream come true? (betty)
"Couldn't ask for a better laptop (MacBook). (Laurence Anderson)
"These MacBook polls are totally irresponsible. The choices offered are leading and validate unconfirmed reports. I know dozens of people with MacBooks-- Pros and "regulars"-- and nobody has experienced any of these problems. On top of that, my 12" G4 PowerBook gets *very* hot on the bottom and will crash if it's not well ventilated, and it's nearly three years old. STOP THE MACBOOK HYSTERIA! (boss sauce)
"MOO" (RaVeNouS)
"The only bad experience I've had with my Macbook is...ants. I've encountered a lot of ants crawling on my Macbook (like...3 encounters so far). The first time was when one crawled into the power connector thing and then one of the vents under the screen. Just last night, I found an ant crawling on the display. I think my room just has an ant problem, though". (Seroth)
