Apple Quietly Upgrades 15" MacBook Pro
In an unheralded spec enhancement coinciding with the formal release
of new iMacs, Mac minis, and Mac Pros on Tuesday, Apple also quietly
speed-bumped the high-end 15" MacBook Pro from
2.53 GHz to 2.66 GHz, bringing it more into performance conformity with
its 17"
stablemate, plus a new $300 build-to-order option that will take
you up to 2.93 GHz from the previous optional high-end 2.8 GHz. The
$1,999 entry level 15-inch MacBook Pro remains at 2.4 GHz with no
upgrade available other than opting for the more expensive model, whose
sticker remains at $2,499.
Also new is availability of the 256 GB SSD previously available only
with the 17-inch MacBook Pro on both the 13-inch unibody MacBook models
and 15" MacBook Pros - somewhat confusingly at varying BTO prices
depending on the computer model - $900 with the 2.0 GHz unibody
MacBook, $825 for the 2.4 GHz unibody MacBook, $750 for the 2.66 GHz
(and 2.93 GHz) 15-inch MacBook Pro, and $750 for the 17-inch MacBook
Pro.

17" Unibody MacBook Problems
MacFixIt
reports:
"The new unibody 17" MacBook Pros have been out for a week or so,
and users have noted some problems with the devices. These problems are
not widespread; however, new purchasers should be aware of them, and
know what to look for to see if they're affected....
"In past MacBook Pro models, Apple was given a batch of faulty
GeForce graphics processors that caused the displays to randomly shut
off. While the current laptops do not appear to suffer this problem,
several users have reported what appears to be GPU overheating, as well
as some instances of persistent graphical artifacts...."

MacBook Air Hinge Defect Not Covered by Apple's
Warranty?
Engadget's
Paul Miller reports:
"Our rocky history with the MacBook Air Rev. A has been well
documented, and while Apple would very much like us to forget all about
it and plop down another $1,800 for the much-improved Rev. B, not
everybody has that sort of birthday money to throw around. Reports of
cracked hinges on the laptop are nothing new, but we always assumed
Apple would eventually 'fess up to the problem and comp those repairs.
Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case, and we just got another report
of a hapless MacBook Air owner who has a broken hinge that Apple says
will cost $800 to repair, despite the fact the laptop is under
warranty...."

Faulty PowerBook Battery Catches Fire

Why Apple Must Do a Netbook Now

"My brother-in-law Ken IM'd me the other day with this message: "Did
you see they're loading OS X on Netbooks?" He sent me a link to a
Gizmodo article that explained how to hack a Netbook into running
Apple's OS X. He also pointed me to a chart that BoingBoing put
together showing how compatible various Netbooks are with OS X.
"Obviously, none of this stuff is geared to the average consumer -
and there are certainly some bugs to contend with - but with some
tweaks, techies have gotten certain Netbooks to run OS X shockingly
well. Perfect or not, those articles and some videos had my
brother-in-law, who's a total Applehead, champing at the bit to get his

AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule Updates Gain

Glenn Fleishman reports:
"The history of Apple's AirPort Wi-Fi products is one of fits and
starts. The company tends to introduce equipment that's more advanced
than anything offered by any of its competitors, then coast for months
or even years without refreshing the line, reaping high margins
compared to similar, more advanced devices.
"Tuesday's refresh of the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Time
Capsule backup device follows that pattern, as some changes were
welcome and overdue, while others push Apple out again ahead of most
other products on the market - certainly far ahead for Mac users.

17" MacBook 'an Easy Recommendation'
PC Mag's Cisco
Cheng reports:
"Part media center, part workstation, the Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch
has been revered over the years by a nation of professional
photographers and film editors, not to mention average media folks who
can't get enough of this thin-bodied cinematic wonder....
"The Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch (Unibody)... is still the lightest
and the prettiest media center laptop to house a maximum-resolution
screen, and the changes are significant.
"You probably would assume that the MacBook Pro 17-inch (Unibody) is
simply a bigger version of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but leave it to
Apple to throw us yet another curveball...."

17" MacBook Pro 'Feels Like a Desktop'
Gizmodo's Mark
Wilson reports:
"While Apple grandly updated their notebook line to the new unibody
design, the 17-inch MacBook Pro, Apple's granddaddy of mobile
computing, was left behind. Now, the 17-inch model joins its siblings -
with promising bonus features....
"Apple will tell you that the MBP17 is the thinnest, lightest
17-inch notebook in the world. We'll tell you that for a monster of a
laptop, it manages to not be too monstrous. The 17-inch (1920x1200)
screen is a sharp, contrasty and colorful panorama, but it's the little
touches that make the MBP17 manageable: The system's near-silent
operation (using a 256 GB SSD instead of a hard drive) is almost
unnerving. Its underside gets warm, but never hot. And the unibody
design makes particularly good sense in this larger size, as the wide
chassis does not flex to your grip as you might expect."

Netbooks, Notebooks Merging

"Netbooks are a hot product these days. Or are they?
"The shipment numbers for the low-cost, Internet-connected
mini-notebook computers are impressive, but the sales figures in some
respects have yet to back up the hype, according to market researcher
IDC.
"Most netbook shipments are going to Western Europe, says IDC
analyst Richard Shim. The question is whether those netbooks are being
sold to consumers or are building up in inventory....
"Netbooks are going to 'continue to morph' over the next year, says
Roger Kay, an analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates. Some vendors
could come out with netbooks with 12- to 15-inch screens....
"Apple also could be hurt by the netbook trend . . . The
maker of Macintosh computers has so far dismissed the category....
"If Apple isn't careful, Kay warns, it could be left without a
competitive offering as netbooks continue to become more
mainstream."

Matte Finish Screen Replacement for 13" Unibody
MacBook
PR: TechRestore, Inc. has announced that
they have begun offering the only Matte Finish screen replacement
service for 13" MacBook Unibody systems.
The new service offers an option for owners of the new Aluminum 13"
MacBook systems, that for personal or professional reasons, do not wish
to use the high-gloss, shiny screen and glass that is factory
installed. The Overnight MacBook 13" Unibody Matte Finish Screen
Replacement Service has a 24-hour turnaround time and flat-rate pricing
of $199 that includes installation of a new replacement LCD screen,
free return shipping and a 1-year warranty on parts and labor.
Unlike simple anti-glare covers, which can distort images and skew
colors, the TechRestore upgrade involves removing the glossy, glass
screen cover and replacing the glossy LCD with a matte-finish screen
that has the exact same specifications as the original; same
resolution, same color depth, same LED backlight. We install a custom
black bezel around the edge of the screen that matches the finish of
the MacBook and looks great. The bezel has all the required holes in it
for the iSight and microphone that sit at the top of the MacBook screen
housing.
Glare comparison: 15" MacBook Pro with matte (left) and glossy (right)
displays.
"We were thrilled to win a Best of Show award during Macworld Expo
for our MacBook Pro Matte finish screen replacement", said Shannon
Jean, Founder and President of TechRestore. "Adding the 13" MacBook
Matte finish screen replacement service has been requested by many of
our customers."
Previewed at Macworld Expo 2009, the TechRestore Overnight MacBook
Pro 15" Unibody Matte Finish Screen Replacement Service won the
Ziff-Davis (ZD Net) Best of Show award and received high praise by
numerous publications, including Macworld magazine that stated "This
is, quite honestly, the machine I feel Apple should have launched as
the new Unibody MacBook Pro. The engineering of the new bezel (in a
nice matte black finish) is perfect; it looks just as good as the one
on the stock MacBook Pro machine sitting next to it in TechRestore's
booth."
The service is available immediately, with over 2000 convenient
local drop-off locations throughout the country. Interested parties can
learn more by visiting TechRestore.com or by calling
1-888-572-7372.
Matte Finish Screen Replacement FAQ
What does the screen replacement include?
In order to replace the super-shiny screen with a traditional matte
(anti-glare) screen, we remove the glass screen cover (you know, that
mirror-like glass you have been seeing your reflection in), then we
remove the glossy LCD (LED backlight) screen. We then replace the
glossy screen with a matte-finish screen that has the exact same
specifications as the original; same resolution, same color depth, same
LED backlight . . . you get the idea. We install a custom
black bezel around the edge of the screen that matches the finish of
the MacBook and looks great. The bezel has all the required holes in it
for the iSight and other items that sit at the top of the MacBook
screen housing.
Are you just putting an anti-glare screen cover on the
screen?
No. Our beta testers on this service have told us they do not like
the anti-glare covers since they tend to distort images and make color
matching very difficult. We will be replacing your entire LCD
panel.
How long does the service take?
The screen replacement is completed within 24-hours (M-F) of receipt
to us.
What about my warranty?
We provide a 1-year warranty on your new screen. Our technicians
have performed tens of thousands of repairs on in-warranty laptops
since 1994 and we have never had a warranty declined by the
manufacturer due to our service. Of course, the manufacturer will not
cover any parts we install on your laptop, we take care of that for
you. In the unlikely event that you have a problem getting warranty
service on your laptop after we perform any repair or upgrade, simply
give us a call so we can provide you with assistance. We are here to
help.
Can I keep my old, glossy screen?
Now, why would you want that shiny screen if you're replacing it
with a matte screen? :-) Seriously though, the low price of
the Matte Finish Upgrade requires a trade-in of your existing
screen.

Modbook. With the $100 instant rebate applied, the Modbook 13.3" model
is priced at $2,139.00 and the Modservice $150 instant rebate reduces
the conversion service cost to $1,149.00.
OWC - The Single Source for Buy New or 'Bring Your Own 'Book'

OWC is the exclusive US-based distributor of the Axiotron Modbook,
as well as being an Axiotron Authorized System Manufacturer (AASM), and

Dual-Layer SuperDrive.
For those who already own an Apple MacBook "White" or "Black" Core
Duo or Core 2 Duo Model, for $1149 (including instant rebate), OWC
provides Modservice which converts the existing MacBook into a
full-fledged Modbook solution. Included in the Modservice price from
OWC is a protective shipping box for the MacBook and both pickup and

Modbook conversion is completed.
Both the new Modbook and Modservice offerings are backed by a One
Year Warranty, which can be optionally extended to a full 3-Year
Warranty for an additional $349.00. The Extended Warranty covers the
original MacBook components; any customer-selected upgrades installed
