MacBook Internal Photos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fruit-basket dept.

It looks like Apple's saving a bunch of R&D by using stock Intel chips in the MacBook Pro. Interestingly, the built-in iSight and Bluetooth connectors are USB 2.0. Apple also downgraded some features from the Powerbook: half the DVD-R write speed and no Firewire 800."

  1. High pitched noise from power supply by capmilk · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, they are using stock Intel parts and still managed to mess up the power supply unit. As can be read here, more than a few users report a whining noise from the psu when the cpus are idling.

    Quick fix: leave PhotoBooth running in the background. D'oh!

  3. Why make the HD so hard to replace? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've owned one in each major generation of powerbooks/ibooks (no macbok yet) since the 520c and the ONLY thing that has bugged me generation to generation is how hard it is to remove/replace the HD.
