MacBooks Experiencing Bluetooth Problems

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-sleep-too-good-either dept.

flowolf writes in with news that Apple seems to be having difficulty getting to grips with a Bluetooth problem on MacBooks. Bluetooth goes unavailable intermittently from what users are assuming is a hardware problem, and while it's out the machines won't stay in sleep mode. Complaints started last spring on the Apple forum, which is still quite active. Many people have had to send their MacBooks for repair more than once without a satisfactory resolution.

    Oh don't worry, we're working on erasing those complaints.

    Steve would have told us if there were any issues. That's why we love Apple. Fellatio in exchange for things that just work. Everybody knows where they kneel.

    I think your post fell into a spelling tornado on the way here.

    Favourably comparing Microsoft to Apple? With Vista as an example no less? You must be new here. ;)

    Either that or he is typing this on his girlfriend's mcbook with a bluetooth keyboard which is losing packets intermittently.
