Apple :: MBP - Track Record For Hardware Updates
Mar 6, 2009
Even though the desktop refresh took quite awhile, it is to my understanding that you can expect a refresh with Macbooks and MBP's every 6 to 8 months, which should put the refresh sometime between 8 days from now (unlikely) to 2 months and 8 days from now.
Is that a likely assumption, or am I missing something here. And yes, I am well aware of the CPU speed bump in the top two MBP's, what I am talking about is an all around refresh, with exception to body structure obviously.

Is there any apps/programs out there where you can record, say like a lecture, and then have it transcribed into text?

I have the new unibody MB and use bootcamp ( win xp) a lot. I get most of the things working except the tap on the track pad . for left click. (by tap i mean the light touch on the track pad and not the hard press when i hear the sound) Every time i have to left click , i have to press hard for that clicking sound.

I noticed that there were new updates so I went ahead and installed them. On restart, the gray screen came up and just sat there. I shut down and started up a few times and same thing. I restarted and held the option key down and it gave me the OS menu and I'm able to boot Mac OSX from there.
I'm going to try to set the default OS using Boot Camp to see if that fixes the problem.

Considering my interests for a new Aluminum 13in macbook.. i was wondering if anyone knew or heard of upcoming updates, revisions or fixes to the 13in macbook. Perhaps apple will make some revisions to the screen, or other issues that may be on the current aluminum macbook. Should i get it now, or wait until some future upgrades or price drops?

Similar to a post about the T530 I used to record streaming audio (internet radio, youtube, playback etc.) with Snagit on my old computer, now on new W530 I cannot find "line out, mono out, wave out," devices to record from, only "microphone".Â
On the Lenovo W530 using Windows 8 Pro I followed the follwoing steps posted elsewhere for the T530:
Â
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Recording ... right-click to check Show Disabled Devices, then choose Stereo Mix as Default (may also want to right-click on Stereo Mix and double-check Properties: make sure Listen level is not at zero)Â
Â
After showing disabled devices on the sound > recording tab the tab still shows only one device, the "Microphone".Â
Â
If it is possible how on  Windows 8 or the W530 (and possibly other models) do we get the line out / mix out / mono out / whatever they call it for the sound that comes out of the computer? Â

I used to record streaming audio (internet radio, youtube, playback etc.) with Audacity on my old T43; now on new T530 no matter how I configure Realtek sound and Audacity I cannot.On the T43 I recorded using "SoundMAX Digital Audio: Wave out". Wit other soundcards it could be "Stereo mix". I get no option of choosing either Wave out or Stereo mix in Audacity.Below is an extract of Audacity WIKI page: URL....According to this information the issue might be Lenovo disabling the possibility of direct recording???
Â
"Sometimes "Stereo Mix" can only be made to work by using the control panel supplied by the sound card manufacturer - this is often reported with RealTek inbuilt sound devices. Try launching the sound device control panel from the Windows Control Panel or the system tray (by the clock). If you see a volume control for Stereo Mix, try clicking to select it. Confusingly, some RealTek devices "select" an input by muting all but one, so in this case, mute everything except stereo mix. If you don't see Stereo Mix, click the wrench icon and enable Stereo Mix in the dialogue that pops up.
In some RealTek versions the option to check is "Enabled recording multi-streaming". You should now see a volume control for Stereo Mix. Remember to select or unmute it as above. Be aware that on some machines, the "Stereo Mix" option will never work because it is disabled internally by the driver settings due to copyright concerns. This is a known issue with Lenovo Thinkpad laptops, but sometimes editing the driver files can enable stereo mix."

So after going through so much fun with my Studio XPS 1645, I can't believe I'm actually considering making another Dell purchase so soon.
Having said that, does anyone have any feedback as to Dell's recent performance with their Fast Track system?

I did some search on this topic and couldn't come up with similar issue.
I left my SZ on the desk to download few items, when I go back to response a IM, I burn my finger tip when I touch the track pad!!!
The window OS function as normal. However, keyboard and mouse no longer response and there is excess heat coming from the track pad

I have tweaked this puppy pretty hard in the last week or so since I have put it in my 9400. I had the T5200 and 7900GS at 675-1200 and was only pulling off 8400's on 3d05.
I have since swapped to a T7400 and the beast 7950GTX, then proceeded to bios mod the heck out of it. I lowered the geometric delta to clock it self -45mhz under the core shader clock. This means when I clocked my card stock it would hit a wall at 660-670 core and that is usual the geometric delta clock stopping us from cranking these higher.
Now I have the core to 705 and that lets the geometric delta run at 660 since I have lowered its ratio in NiBitor. It will go all the way to 730's before it starts to aritifact. I also ran the ram up to 1720 on these runs (860 DDR). I can email anyone this bios and also have screen shots to host when I get time. This thing is rock solid stable at 680 all day long benching and gaming if anyone is interested in that little fact. The 7900GS works well with this delta mod also I had its core to 670's on that but it was a revision 1 so it sucked for memory overclocking as it only went to 1200DDR. Someone with a unlocked CPU needs to do this and crush my scores. I have hit close to 6200 on 3dmark 06 but someone with a 7600G will get me if they used my bios or edit them selves. I was the one with the Gen2 XPS 6800 ultra that was pulling 6800's on 05 a couple years ago that put up a world record also.

I'm after a new laptop, was about to get a Dell Studio 15" when I realised it doesn't have a track stick/pointing stick. I am very attached to my track stick on current laptop.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. On the keyboard the F1-F12 keys double as multimedia keys - so if you press just F5 for example, you'll raise the screen brightness, but hold Fn and press F5 and it'll be a normal F5 press (e.g. will refresh a webpage).
The Multimedia functions of F10, F11 and F12 are Back, Play/Pause and Forward respectively. These have worked for years, for example if I had a song playing in Windows Media Player and hit F11, it would pause the song. F12 would skip to the next track in the playlist. Recently I must have unknowingly changed a setting somewhere because this no longer seems to work. Bizarrely, every other Multimedia key works, so F5 still raises the screen brightness for example.

I just bought an E6410 tonight, thanks to a 30% off coupon I found.
All of a sudden, however, I'm doubting my purchase - specifically because this machine uses an Alps touchpad, whereas the Vostro 3300 I was going to buy (before I found this coupon) uses a Synaptics touchpad.
The last time I had a machine with an Alps pad was in 2004 with my Latitude D600, and that thing sucked. I mean, it was an atrocious piece of hardware.
So what's the verdict on the hardware in the new E64x machines? Is it painful to use? I found a thread talking about using different OEM drivers to improve the responsiveness of the device - is this still necessary?
Just curious to see what current owners think about this. I still don't understand why Dell's been so dead-set on using Alps hardware since the D-series. My old C600 had a Synaptics trackpad, and I loved that thing.

Rather than the next song on a playlist, my next track button skips one. Eg 1 -> 3 rather than 1 -> 2...
Anyone know why/how to fix?

Especially the 16" model seems to have some excellent features with the new Core i7, and thankfully everything seems Linux compliant. I just have a few questions before I pull the trigger, as I don't have as much background on Dell products as I do some other manufacturers.
First of all, is there anything new on the horizon? Are there any highly rumored updates with new hardware, new models etc? I hate to buy right at the end of a cycle, but as Dell seems to update faster than Apple and whatnot, I don't want to miss anything.
Any ideas what is going to be in the refresh for the current two S-XPS models? For instance, new graphics cards, Core i7 or i5 in the 13" as well? Perhaps multitouch trackpads (unless they already have them? I've conflicting reports regarding multitouch and to what "degree")? I'd like to see a few little updates, especially on the 13".
I see that Linux is available (ubuntu) installed on a certain version of the XPS 13 and 16. Unfortunately, these seem to be the lower end models (No Core i7). Would there be any way to configure a maxed out configuration and have them put Linux on it? Perhaps over the phone? If I over over the phone, will that negate the special deal pricing from the link here at the forums .....

I don't personally use it but I noticed a new driver for the facial recognition software dated 2/4/2010 and it lists Win7 in the changes.
So for those who used to use this and upgraded to Win7 to have it not work should be happy. Also noticed a bunch of hard drive updates I never noticed before .....

Asked this question in the other thread but I thought I make a new one here.
I formated and reinstalled my e6500.
Now I saw before the reinstallation that I had a dell program that connected to their website (database) and checked if all my drivers where up to date.
Now after reinstallation I dont find this neat application any of you who know whats it called?

Ok here is what I did yesterday. Downloaded 4 updates for the XPS 1530:
- Blutooth software
- A12 BIOS update
- NVIDIA 185.85 driver
- NVIDIA PhysX 9.09.0408
I first installed the blutooth, everything was running fine. Then went ahead with installing the gpu driver and then physx driver. Finally I go ahead with the A12 bios update (was running on A09 before this).
I restart the computer, and everything loads up just fine. I noticed the fan kicking in though but no biggie..
I can open up firefox window no problem. It's only when I access my documents (D) or My Computer or C: the computer freezes (not responding msg). The fan kicks in at this moment and waiting 10 more minutes doesn't solve anything so I have to force shut down the laptop. Is it the bios update which is doing this or Nvidia drivers?

I just got a new Acer Aspire 5536 laptop for my brother and I'm doing the normal initial set up stuff. I checked and there's a newer BIOS on the website for this machine. But I can't seem to find any description of the BIOS revisions in the file downloaded or on the website.
where to find a change list for Acer BIOS revisions? I've got BIOS 1.10 and strangely the available BIOS revisions skip from 1.08 to 1.11, making me think there may be an issue with the 1.10 release.
