Apple Fixes 'Slow' SATA on New MacBook Pros
AppleInsider's
Aidan Malley reports:
"In one of its quicker turnarounds, Apple has released a firmware
update for its mid-2009 MacBook Pro lineup that addresses Serial ATA
speeds that were unintentionally cut in half."

No End in Sight for MacBook Pro Display Issues
Daily Tech's
Jason Mick says:
"Distortion problems on the new MacBook Pro leave some units
unreadable and unusable. A firmware update failed to resolve the issue,
indicating Apple still is unsure what is causing it.

Apple Acknowledges Lack of 'Ignore Trackpad' Option
for Some MacBooks
MacFixIt
says:
"Many people have noticed that on newer MacBook and MacBook Pro
computers, the option for ignoring trackpad input when typing is
missing. In a recent
knowledge base document, Apple acknowledges the lack of this
feature and discusses the reasoning for its removal."

Acknowledges Lack of 'Ignore Trackpad' Options for Some Laptops
Proof That Macs Hold Their Value
AppleMatters Chris Howard notes that most everyone has heard
that Apple computers retain their value better than PCs and asks how
would you feel if you bought a 4-year-old iBook five years ago and were
still able to get 50% of what you paid for it?
Not entirely a rhetorical question, since back in May 2004 he and
his kids bought his wife an G3 iBook 366 FireWire clamshell
laptop for AU$405 (plus AU$20 delivery), another AU$115 for a 256
MB RAM upgrade, plus AU$80 for a replacement battery last year for a
grand total of AU$620 cost, and was just able to sell the machine on
eBay for AU$200, which is evidently the average price for an iBook
of that age - with contemporaneous PC notebooks selling for roughly
half that.
Chris says that in all honesty he doesn't think the old iBook was
worth what he got for it, and I agree that it isn't in terms of its
utility, but of course the clamshell is something of an exception, as
it's becoming a collectable, and while his wife replaced the old
machine with a secondhand 1.33 GHz iBook G4 for a bit
under AU$500, he muses that a new PC netbook for a bit more money than
he got for the old G3 machine would be a more sensible proposition with
a hacked install of Mac OS X.

Hard Drive Clicks and Pauses When Moving
Laptops
MacFixIt notes
that the sudden motion sensors in Apple laptops detect when the
computer is moved or dropped and let the computer prepare the hard
drive for movement, an ability that can prevent the heads from either
being damaged or from scraping against and damaging the disk surface -
which can happen if the computer is struck, dropped, or subjected to
severe vibrations, which is a good thing, but says that while this
safety feature should not impede on general function, there are times
when it can cause pauses in computing tasks, and that if you desire you
can disable the sudden motion sensor by changing a variable in the
power management settings of the system.

longtime Apple notebook subcontractor Quanta expected to become sole
manufacturer of the MacBook in the second half of 2009 and estimated to
ship a total of around 10 million units to Apple for the year.

13" MacBook Pro 'Makes an Impressive Debut'
Macworld's
James Galbraith says the original aluminum MacBook in
Macworld Labs testing posted performance scores very similar to the
15-inch MacBook Pro that was released at the same time in October 2008,
with the main differences between the MacBook and Pro essentially
specific features, but Apple's latest 13"
aluminum laptops (2.53 GHz version) now match the latest 15-inchers
in all but screen dimensions.

Mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro 'Delivers Better
Value'
Macworld's
Jackie Dove reports:
"The 15-inch
MacBook Pro has historically been the most popular model in Apple's
pro notebook lineup. It's certainly easier to tote around than its more
powerful and hefty 17-inch big brother, though its feature-to-price
ratio compared favorably. Now, with Apple's debut of a 13-inch MacBook
Pro, the standard-bearer is now relegated to the middle ground. While
this update to the 15-inch category delivers better value and even more
specification options, the upgrades to this newly appointed mid-2009
model are more nuanced than flashy."

Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro 'a Better Value'
Macworld's Dan
Frakes reports that while most MacBook Pro models gained new
capabilities with the WWDC upgrades, the 17" MacBook Pro was
the sole Mac laptop that kept its design and feature set intact - not
surprising, considering it was first released just a few months
earlier. However, Apple's largest-screen portable did improve its
performance and upgrade options while becoming more affordable.

Engadget's Looks at New MacBook Pro Line
Engadget's
Nilay Patel riffs on the new MacBook Pros, saying he's a little
perplexed, observing that Apple didn't really make enough changes to
warrant a whole new review of the unibody lineup, and that using one of
the new machines feels pretty much like using most any recent Mac. On
the other hand it's becoming clear that all the seemingly minor changes
will have a big impact down the line - especially the move to sealed-in
batteries across the board, in which Patel agrees with my own
assessment that it's a decision that will have decidedly mixed
consequences.
Patel thinks these changes impact the 13" and 15" models quite
differently - the $1,199 13" configuration still essentially being an
entry-level consumer machine, and consumers and professionals don't
have the same needs.

Micron Brings High Performance, Low-Power DDR3
Memory to Notebook Computers
PR: Notebooks can now take advantage of optimized battery
life and portability with a new line of low-voltage, high-bandwidth
DDR3 memory modules introduced today by Micron Technology, Inc.
Offering a combination of performance and efficiency for notebook
computers, Micron's new modules are available in densities up to
2-gigabytes (GB) now, with 4 GB samples coming this fall.
Sustaining battery life and delivering desktop-equivalent
performance are two critical criteria when developing notebook computer
designs, and Micron's new modules provide an ideal combination of
performance and power efficiency. The modules are designed using the
industry's lowest 1.35-volt 1-gigabit (Gb) DDR3 components, allowing
for even greater power savings compared to standard 1.5-volt DDR3. More
importantly, this low-power is achieved without compromise to memory
performance - the modules provide an optimum bandwidth of 1,333
megabits per second.
"Across the board, we are making our DRAM more efficient - from both
a power and performance perspective - which ultimately empowers users
to be more productive," said Robert Feurle, vice president of DRAM
marketing at Micron. "Our new DDR3 notebook modules offer approximately
a 20 percent reduction in power usage compared to standard 1.5-volt
modules while maintaining DDR3's high performance advantage, enabling a
desktop-class computing experience for portable computers."
"Our notebook graphics processing units deliver industry-leading
performance and visual fidelity," said Barry Wagner, director of
technical marketing at Nvidia. "Micron has been a valued partner in
defining the performance and power parameters necessary for portable
computing applications. We look forward to working with Micron to
validate their new modules with our notebook processing solutions."
Now Sampling 1.35V DDR3 SO-DIMMs
Micron announces the world's first 1.35V DDR3 SO-DIMMs. These
compact modules deliver all the performance of standard DDR3 modules
(1333 MT/s), but draw just 1.35V - offering about 20% power savings
over 1.5V modules. They're sampling 1 GB and 2 GB modules
now, with 4 GB parts coming later this year.
Nvidia and Micron - Enabling the Shift to Low-Voltage SO-DIMMs
Because your memory choice often hinges on compatibility, Micron
makes a point to actively engage with key industry partners to validate
our modules. They are working closely with Nvidia to validate their
1.35V DDR3 SO-DIMMs on the chipset maker's latest high-performance
laptop graphics processors. The idea is to deliver the advanced
features and performance that Nvidia customers have come to expect,with
a power-conserving, high-bandwidth SO-DIMM family.
