Apr 26, 2010Which macbook pros come with the new metal colored trim around the bezel?
High-res screens only? Does matte/glossy matter? Both come that way?

Just saw these pictures of this custom Macbook air, and i just wanted to know your thoughts about this mod. Do you like it more than the original, my only problem with this is that the bottom of the bezel says "Macbook" not macbook air.

Just trying to see if its me. Also wondering if it's just a bad streak of headaches, which has happened before. So anyone else having headaches from or it?
I do spend about 6+ hours staring at the screen, should I try taking more breaks maybe?just hoping its not the screen as I love my macbook.
If I bought a Macbook 13", what the chances I would get one with a new screen? They don't have a return policy so I'm scared of the gamble.
View 4 Replies View RelatedApple has new venders making thier screens on the Macbook 13" Alum. Supposebly, these new screens are so supposed to be better than the old one. I went to best buy but they only have old models out. Has anyone seen the new screens? I'd like to know how much better they are...especially the vertical viewing angles.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI will be getting a new MacBook Pro 13" within the next few days, this weekend at the latest. I will be picking up the laptop, the free iPod, the free printer, and cases for the laptop and iPod, as well as AppleCare (might save that for the next couple of months though) at an Apple store. Anyways, before I make that trip to the Apple Store I have some questions as a first time Apple buyer.
1. If I buy a laptop at the store, how difficult is it to get different specs for a laptop? Do they have a variety of different spec laptops to choose from or do they just have the base models? Like, let's say I want the $1199 MacBook Pro but with a larger hard drive, would they be able to do that at the store? Speaking of which...
2. I was looking on the website, and it's just $50 dollars more for a 250GB hard drive over the 160GB. Would you guys suggest getting the extra space for that price? I checked prices for a 250GB hard drive and they're about the same price as that and I wouldn't have to worry about installing it myself.
3. I tried looking around the Apple website for this but couldn't find anything on what software that comes PRE-installed on the laptop? Anything useful?
4. I am debating whether or not to get iWorks or Word for Mac 2009. iWorks is $50 and Word is $120. I will just need it for writing essays and doing the occasional PowerPoint presentation. I don't need those specific programs, just compatibility.
5. And finally, I don't know if this is a problem with Macs, but what is Apple's policy on dead pixels? If I find one, how difficult would it be to get the laptop exchanged for another?

Apple's new Core i7-based iMac might be a performance monster, but it looks like the whole family's having some problems getting out of the gate: in addition to the previously-noted performance issues with the Core 2 Duo models, a quick glance across Apple's support forums and on other Mac boards around the web reveals that some machines are showing up DOA and / or with cracked screens. We're a little more familiar with the DOA issue, since the new i7 we just bought doesn't boot at all, but the cracked screen issue seems to be equally common and mostly affecting the bottom left corner, from what we can tell. Now, our review Core 2 Duo 27-inch iMac is perfectly fine, and Chris Ziegler's new Core i7 machine doesn't have any problems either, so these obviously aren't universal issues, but if you're about to stick one of these under the tree for someone it might be wise to do some surreptitious testing first.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was happening during shipping, the box my MBP came in had a big hole in it. (luckily it was double boxed) Maybe they have a problem with their packaging design.
Does it have a metal chassis ? Does it have a metal lid ? How do the plastic components feel ?
I believe it does NOT have creaks ?
Does the paint job wear off ?
I had a chance to stop by at apple store today, and compared the anti glare screens on both 15 inch and 17 inch models. To my surprise, the 15 inch one was much brighter than 17 inch one. I made sure that both had max brightness settings, and it was clear that 15 inch one was superior. maybe this 17 inch display model was defect? anyone has opposite experience? (btw, I hate seeing myself and losing focus because of reflective glassy screens)
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe anti-glare is quite refreshing, actually, and reminds me of my 2007 MacBook Pro...
Anyway, it's blazing fast, and with a fresh OS X install on her OCZ Vertex SSD, she's up and running and very happy. She's MORE than glad to be rid of the utterly awful 1440x900 resolution, and up to 1680x1050 (though she'd still prefer 1920x1200...).
It seems a very speedy upgrade from her 2008 unibody: 2.53Ghz C2D, 4GB, etc. I have to say, the inertial scrolling is very cool, and sort of a crime that Apple is currently only letting new owners use it!
i used to have 44 processes at boot but now its at 49 - 51, i have not changed anything or installed anything new? any ideas its been the same for the past 3 days or so and ive tried restarting
View 4 Replies View RelatedAnyone have a 15" high res mbp yet. Im looking for feedback on the screen quality, i would get an antiglare but im assuming the lcd is the same so feedback.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking of purchasing a 15" MBP and am debating between the standard screen and the high resolution screen. I had a studio xps 16 with the 1080p screen and though it looked great so I would ideally like to get the high resolution screen. However, I wanted to see if I could get some opinions on the readability of the screen, is text readable? Does Mac OS contain a feature like Win 7 where you can increase the text size? I really liked the look and extra space higher resolution screens offer but did notice on the studio xps that without increasing the text size text (which it did by default) text and menus were too small. What are your opinions on the macbook's high resolution screen, which do you prefer?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt seems most of the people I know who do a lot of burning and use of their superdrive's on the macbook pros are buying external optical drives because the internal optical drive in the mac is failing (not responsive or working anymore).
I'm just wondering, for expensive as Macs are, why is it that this is happening? I thought with the price one could expect high quality parts and not parts that fail within the first two years of owning the laptop.
My MacBook has been acting weird lately. Its fan speeds just go up to as high as 5k while I'm surfing the web (Firefox), 3k on average. No embedded flash videos, etc. I've searched the net for solutions and none of them work for me. I tried checking my Activity Monitor, and the app that uses the highest CPU % is Firefox at 12% at most. I happened to see Quicksilver go up to 97% for a second then it disappeared. I tried looking for any hidden Print Jobs but I had none. I have 1 stuck process according to Terminal, but that's basically it. I have a 2.4ghz white MacBook, 10.5.6.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a replacement screen bezel/surround to fit my SZ61WN/C (mine is cracked in half at the bottom between the N and Y of Sony! N is lost in the abyss so I currently have a SO Y Laptop ).
After a bit of digging on this site I have found the disassembly guides and nexttronics who will deliver what I need to me here in the UK, my only issue is that I'm not sure which one I need to buy.
I'm think its one on this page (below) under the "lcd133led" section as it is an led backlit screen with motion eye camera (on diagram as 1011).

My model isn't listed as its a European version (the SZ61WN/C is an all black Premium Carbon model), is there an equivalent US model number that anyone knows of?

if I touch the area, and when I close the lid during shutdown. Need to know if yall have the same issue before I get a replacement.
My girlfriend bought an e6400 just over a year ago. We've noticed a small crack on the screen bezel close to the left hand hinge.
The laptop isn't used a great deal and is rarely moved form the table where it sits. I'm positive that the crack is a result of a defect rather than any 'abuse' the system has had.
Naturally I wished to take advantage of the 3 year warranty the machine has, but have just been told on the phone that the screen bezel is not covered.
Apparently:
- I don't have a 'complete care' warranty.
- The regular warranty I have only covers 'parts' of the machine.
- The bezel isn't one of those parts.
The guy on the phone was unable to point me to where the conditions of my warranty are spelt out.
Can anyone advise me on where I stand?
if anyone here had any idea on how to remove the bezel on an Acer Aspire 6920-6973. I bought the replacement LCD for my screen and I cant seem to get the bezel off completely!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about purchasing the Aspire V3 572 5217 and would like to know about the process of adding an optical drive. I have done some research and pretty much assume that the majority are universal. I would like to know if the product itself comes with a bezel or if I have to purchase one. If so, what steps do I do to make the right arrangements?

View 6 Replies View Relatedi have had 2 problems with my Z for a while and im fed up because its out of warranty and sony will not fix it.
1. The Right hinge i believed is messed up so it does not close correctly. Due to this the right side of the lcd bezel has become cracked on the bottom right i believe because of the tension. (check the pictures). I have to keep a clip on the right bottom side to hold the LCD in place.
2. The notebook is really really hot. Especially using the nvidia. When running any 3d game it takes less than 10 minutes for the temps to get ridiculous on the cpu and gpu. It just turns off when it gets to like 103 or something. Im not sure if its the gpu or cpu but i think they share the same copper pipe for heat. Im going to put arctic silver on both of the chips if i can and clean everything out really good.
My main issue is the hinge. Im not even sure if it is repairable. If it isnt repairable where and how should I go about getting a new Hingle and LCD bezel.
I have the 16.0" diagonal High Definition HP Ultra BrightView Infinity Display (1920x1080p) and the outside glass has couple marks on it. I would like to replace this.
Where can I find brand new replacement parts?
Also, I need to replace the keyboard, chrome keyboard bezel and outer chrome cover (on the left hand side of the laptop, around the VGA port). Where can I find brand new replacement parts?
Sony should just get rid off ECO screens all together and offer only XBrite HiColor with 2 different resolutions and charge less for the one with lower resolution. It is very frustrating that you have to settle with inferior color if you want lower resolution
