Ven, the graphical designer that work with me on the company website, has problems with it’s new MacBook Pro Unibody.

some MacBook Pro seems to be insomniacs

Typically the MacBook Pro go to sleep when lid is closed, and then wake up minutes later, overheating while closed (fans doesn’t seems to start!), and surface where really hot when he discover that.

We found many witnesses of some related problems on the Web, with new MacBook or MacBook Pro refusing to go awake from sleeping mode, rebooting when awaking, awaking themselves and overheaten, making battery dies in hours (while theorically in sleep mode), and so on.

After the trackpad problems, the GeForce 9600M GT videocard black-screen of death, the third-party RAM problems, now there’s sleep/awaking problems!

These new MacBook & MacBook Pro seems really badly conceived from scratch.

nVidia communicates the supported memory limits on the GeForce 9400M chipset that fuels the new MacBook and MacBook Pro : 8GB maximum, 2×4GB DDR3 sticks.

Apple specifications is 4GB (2×2GB DDR3 sticks), but since Leopard runs in 64bits mode on MacBook & MacBook Pro it is still possible that 8GB may be recognized, we will have to check it

As some people are suggesting for WallStreet, it may be a great time to invest,on a MacBook. An second-hand MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.

Actually, on CraigsList, Kijiji, eBay, there’s a lot of MacBook (any recent model), selling largely under the last week’s prices. If you are in need of a good or great Mac, for your work, your home, for a christmas gift, there’s many good deal to find.

MacBook Air original with SuperDrive

Yesterday, I found this MacBook Air, the basic model (Core2 Duo 2×1.6Ghz/2GB/80GB 4200rpm HD/video X3100 144MB), with a SuperDrive. Used 5 months, with a bump on a corner, fully functional, a MacBook Air that sold for nearly $2000 (including taxes) in Canada 5 months ago.

And I pay it for less than $1000!!! It is my beloved one christmas gift, that will replace the 3-years old Powerbook 15″ HD (PowerPC 1×1.67Ghz/1.5GB/80GB HD/Radeon 9700 128MB)
