This Week's MacBook, PowerBook, and iBook News
Apple is being subjected to yet another class action lawsuit,
this time over the fact that it - like all other manufacturers of
notebook computers - uses 18-bit LCDs while claiming to display
"millions of colors" on the screen. Odd thing is, notebooks have
been using 18-bit LCDs for ages, yet nobody complained until
now.
For our analysis of the issues, see Apple Sued: Can 262,144 Colors Be
Considered 'Millions'? We also recommend reading How Good Is Your
Color? and viewing the 24-bit and 18-bit examples linked in the
article.
In other news, the new MacBook only clocks 8% faster than the
one it replaced, and the new 2 GHz model should match the
performance of the just discontinued 2 GHz MacBook - but
Mac|Life finds it benchmarking up to 17% faster, while Primate
Labs, using only Geekbench for analysis, concludes the May 2007
MacBooks are "only slightly faster than the old MacBooks".
Also on the performance front, Other World Computing has done
some in-depth evaluation of the MacBook with matched and unmatched
RAM modules in configurations ranging from 512 MB to 3.0 GB. In
general, more RAM makes a bigger difference than whether pairs are
matched. I hope to publish a deeper analysis of this data soon.

Display Lawsuit
The image below is adapted from How Good Is Your
Color?, which shows separate 18-bit and 24-bit images with
gray, red, green, and blue color strips. If you can see banding in
both strips below, you are viewing 18-bit (or lower) video. If the
top strip doesn't show banding, you may have 24-bit video.
(Because of the way OS X displays images, the top band looks
fairly smooth with 8-bit video because of dithering, and it looks
nearly as smooth with 16-bit video, at least on my 24-bit external
LCD monitor.)
MacBook Displays 'Grainy' and 'Sparkly'
MacUser's Dan Moren reports:
"Court is now in session, please be seated. On today's docket, a
pair of San Diego residents, Dave Gatley and Fred Greaves, are
suing Apple over the quality of the MacBook and MacBook Pro
displays (PDF link). At stake is whether or not the screens are
suitable for high quality visual work, specifically photo-editing.
Greaves and Gatley are taking issue with Apple's claim that the
MB/MBP displays are capable of displaying millions of colors,
alleging that this functionality is only achieved by the excessive
use of dithering, and that in reality, the computer is incapable of
reproducing the entire color spectrum without banding arising.
"Having read through much of the complaint, I do find myself
somewhat confused as to what the cause of this problem is...."

Lawsuit Over MacBook, MacBook Pro Displays
Ars Technica's Charles Jade reports:
"Seeking class-action status, plaintiffs Fred Greaves and Dave
Gatley tell a story in a legal filing that will sound familiar to
longtime Mac users. It begins with a perceived problem, the
discovery that others have this problem, a refutation by Apple of
that problem, and the ensuing legal action. In this case, the issue
concerns the LCD displays of MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
"Many purchasers observed that the display was 'grainy.' Others
complained that the display was 'sparkly.' Some purchasers noted
that in certain programs capable of displaying color spectra that
banding appears in the display of gradients.
"If people actually used technical terms like 'sparkly' when
contacting Apple support, it would hardly be surprising that they
were told they 'were being too picky' or that they were 'imagining
the complained defects.' However, it is in regards to the issue of
properly displaying the color spectrum that this complaint becomes
interesting."

Lawsuit Over MacBook, MacBook Pro Displays
Behind the Apple MacBook Class Action Suit
Business 2.0's Philip Elmer-DeWitt says:
"The complaint - filed in a California superior court - reads
like a long, angry comment thread on an Apple forum, which is
largely what it is.
"Two MacBook owners, Fred Greaves and Dave Gately, have filed a
class action lawsuit against Apple, charging the company with
deceptive advertising, misrepresentation and unfair competition
over the use of the phrase "millions of colors" to describe the
capability of the LCD displays in MacBook and MacBook Pro
computers.
"But as Charles Jade puts it in Ars Technica Infinite
Loop, the legal filing tells...
"'a story . . . that will sound familiar to
longtime Mac users. It begins with a perceived problem, the
discovery that others have this problem, a refutation by Apple of
that problem, and the ensuing legal action.'
"At the heart of the case is plaintiff's claim that rather than
delivering 16,777,216 colors with an 8-bit LCD, Apple chose a
cheaper route, delivering the illusion of millions of colors using
a 6-bit LCD and dithering."

New 2 GHz MacBook Noticeably Faster than Older
2 GHz Model
Ars Technica's Grover Saunders reports:
"As you are all surely aware by now, Apple upgraded its entire MacBook line last week.
Mac|Life was able to get its hands on one of the shiny, new 2.0 GHz
models and put it through its paces over the weekend. The results,
while not shocking, are certainly interesting. Apparently, the new
2.0 GHz MacBook (currently at the bottom of the MacBook heap)
outperforms an older 2.0 GHz MacBook in nearly every case."

MacBook (May 2007) Performance
Primate Labs Blog reports:
"Apple released updated
MacBooks earlier this week. While it's not a major upgrade, I
still thought it'd be interesting to compare the performance of the
new MacBooks against the performance of the old MacBooks using
Geekbench 2.
"Here's the configuration of the three MacBooks used in this
performance comparison. Note that the first MacBook is from the new
MacBook lineup, while the last two are from the old MacBook lineup
(it looks like Apple didn't update the internal model string for
the new MacBook lineup)."

MacBook Memory Upgrades: 'To Pair or Not to
Pair'
Other World Computing has posted a tutorial on the benefit of
paired RAM in the MacBook:
"Since day one, Apple has strongly recommended that memory going
into models with the Intel GMA 950 Video chipset be installed in
pairs. GMA 950 video equipped Macs do not have dedicated Video
Memory for display and rather the GMA 950 actually shares 64 MB from
your main system memory installed.
"As all of the Intel Core 2 Duo Macs (same is true between Core
Duo Macs) share the same memory controller and processor. It is
only on the GMA 950 equipped models, which have the shared memory
use for video, that are pushed to have only matched pairs of memory
installed - for enabling the 128 Mbit memory addressing. In the
Apple store, you'll find that while the current Core 2 Duo models
with Nvidia or ATI video offer memory options on non-pairs - the
GMA 950 equipped model configs offer memory options that only
include pairs.
"Despite Apple's strongest recommendations for memory pairing,
the test results we have from the current Apple MacBook 1.83 GHz
13.3" Core 2 Duo laptop cause us to recommend otherwise."
Other World Computing has complete MacBook results using 512 MB,
768 MB, 1.0 GB, 1.25 GB, 1.5 GB, 2.0 GB, and 3.0 GB
configurations.

Upgrading Memory in Your MacBook - 'To Pair or Not to Pair'
Is 3 GB Better than 2 GB of RAM in a
MacBook?
Ars Technica's Jeff Smykil reports:
"For many years, conventional wisdom said that the more RAM you
had, the better your machine would perform. This thinking made
sense to most of us, and we were comfortable with it even if our
wallets were not. Then came DDR (no, not Dance Dance Revolution),
and conventional wisdom was almost thrown out the window. With the
new memory came improved performance (from the Ars Guide):
"[...] two, 512 MB DIMMs of SDRAM will outperform
a single, 1 GB DIMM. Since each DIMM can have up to four
banks, regardless of its size, spreading your memory out among
multiple DIMMs offers better performance because of the increased
number of banks."

MacBook Pro 17" - Sleek, Fast, and Fairly
Quiet
Betalogue's Pierre
Igot reports:
"After six years of decent and loyal service, my wife's
PowerBook G4 (Titanium, 400 MHz) has finally been retired. Apart
from really shitty wireless signal reception, it really was a good
computer. But it was starting to fall apart physically, especially
the keyboard, with a broken key and half-working space bar. Also,
lest we forget, its extra RAM slot underneath the keyboard was
still only kept in place and prevented from creating a huge bulge
under the keys with the help of a bended tooth pick."
"I would probably have stayed with 10.3 on this machine, had it
not been for our disastrous experience with the mooing MacBook last
year."
"After the experience with the MacBook, I decided that we
wouldn't tempt fate again by being 'early adopters' and buying a
brand new model. I also decided that we would go for a larger
machine with more room for heat dissipation. That meant a MacBook
Pro...."
"The MacBook Pro 17" order was placed on Sunday, May 13 with
Apple Canada's Store for educators."
"As for the noise, well, the good news is that the laptop is not
mooing. It is a relief indeed, although on last year's MacInTouch
survey results, I knew that a mooing problem was very unlikely with
this model.
"But the laptop is certainly not perfectly silent, and is in
fact somewhat louder than the TiBook. In truth, the TiBook always
was a remarkably quiet machine, and my wife got used to that. So
she did notice the increased background noise of the fans of the
MacBook Pro at first."

MacBook Pro an Icon of the Genre
The Edmonton Sun's Andre Boily reports:
"The Apple MacBook Pro is an icon of the laptop genre, albeit a
pricey one.
"Take comfort, Mac fans. The price is worth it, based on
quality, performance and ease of use.
"Even though the design has remained virtually unchanged since
the first PowerBook G4s, the MacBook Pro still stands out from its
competitors, straight from the box....

Issue Seems to Be History
MacBook Pro Set to Benefit from 'Santa
Rosa'
SpyMac's Michael Simon reports:
"With just its second Mac release of 2007 - the first being an
8-core option on the Mac Pro in
April - Apple rolled out the 'same lovable MacBook' at a 'new lovable speed,'
adding the same 2.16 GHz processor that its 15-inch brother has
been enjoying for the past seven months.
"As far as updates go, it was pretty bland, barely worthy of it
own slogan and press release. And after keeping pace with its more
powerful sibling for the last 12 months, it looks like Apple has
put the brakes on the MacBook, adding just 160 megahertz to its
bottom line and bumping its hard drive and RAM....
"While the MacBook is left to stagnate for another six to eight
months, its higher-priced brothers seem poised to benefit from the
next generation of Core 2 Duo processors, codenamed 'Santa Rosa,'
with yields of up to 2.4 GHz, 'energy efficiency and great battery
life.' Plus, Apple has already spilled the beans on its plans to
'transition from fluorescent lamps to light-emitting diodes to
illuminate the displays' this year."

A new Apple Knowledge Base article says:
"You may notice your MacBook or MacBook Pro's optical disc drive
makes various sounds even if a CD or DVD isn't in the drive. The
noises you might hear from the optical drive are probably normal.
There is a small motor in the drive that spins discs.
"These are some examples of sounds you might hear from your
MacBook or MacBook Pro computer (these recordings were taken very
close to the optical drive - the equivalent of having your ear
directly next to the drive)."

Using an External Display While May 2007
MacBook Is in Clamshell Mode
A new Apple Knowledge Base article says:
If using a MacBook (Mid 2007) with an external display (such as
an Apple Cinema Display), you may notice that if the menu bar is
set to the external display, waking the computer from clamshell
mode may temporarily prevent the internal display from displaying
video.

Solution
- Press F7 on the MacBook keyboard to temporarily restore video
on the internal display.
- Save any unsaved data and restart the computer.
This document will be updated as more information becomes
available.
