MacBooks Back on Top at Amazon.com
Given the goodness of Apple's new
13" MacBook
Pro, I'm not at all surprised by Fortune columnist and
Apple-watcher Philip Elmer-DeWitt's report that the small Pro been one
of Amazon's top 100 bestsellers for 20 days, and Apple has clawed its
way back to the top of Amazon's bestseller lists, pulling ahead of the
cheapo PC netbooks. As of Monday morning, the 13" aluminum job was the
site's No. 4 best-selling computer overall and No. 1 in the laptop
category, with three of the top 10 and five of the top 20
best-selling laptops on Amazon.com now MacBooks.

MacBook Pro Firmware Update: Problems with Some
Third-party Hard Drives
Register Hardware's Chris Mellor reports that Apple's new firmware 1.7 upgrade
(below), which restores the 3 Gb/s SATA speed to
MacBook Pros, has also caused some "unauthorised" hard drives to fail,
with an
Apple Discussion board thread logging multiple comments about the
issue, which may occur when the Apple-shipped drive in the MacBook Pro
is replaced with a third-party drive and the fast SATA firmware upgrade
is applied.
Some users report their SATA II drives work fine after the update.
Others say they are having problems with stock Apple drives. One poster
reverted to a 1.5 Gb/s SATA drive and the problem went away.
The Firmware 1.7 release contains the disclaimer: "While this update
allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5 Gb/s, Apple has
not qualified or offered these drives for Mac notebooks and their use
is unsupported."

Side Effects of the MacBook Pro EFI 1.7 Update
Hardmac's
Linathael and Lionel report that while Apple's EFI Firmware 1.7 update
has been a relief for many new MacBook Pro owners, it seems to created
new issues for some users who are experiencing problems after applying
the update, including random freezes and delayed hard drive access, but
one user reports that everything is working fine when running Boot

Are Sealed-in Laptop Batteries a Good Idea?
InfoWorld's
Paul Venezia says:
"When Apple introduced its new MacBooks recently, it touted a
doubled battery life - but noted that the laptops' batteries were
sealed into the case, not user-swappable as is the norm on
laptops....
"At first blush, the idea of a non-removable battery in a laptop
seems ill advised. After all, batteries are absolutely key to laptops,
and everyone has had a laptop with a battery that just won't hold a
charge, requiring you to be no more than five feet from an outlet. In
those cases, it's simple to buy a new battery and install it in a few
seconds . . . There's also the case of those who work in
remote locations - such as war zones - where wired power may not be
readily available. In extreme cases, the ability to swap batteries
there can mean life and death . . . Given the potential
problems, why would vendors seal in batteries?"

Are Sealed-in Laptop Batteries a Good Idea?
Walt Mossberg on MacBook Pro's Built-in
Batteries
WSJ's Walter
S. Mossberg, who always has interesting things to say about Mac
hardware, comments that removable batteries used in most laptop
computers allow you to carry and pop in a fresh spare when your battery
runs out of juice between charges, and to easily replace a battery when
its lifespan is over.
However Mossberg notes that the "dirty little secret" about
removable-battery laptops owned by average consumers is that hardly
anyone buys extra batteries - research firm NPD estimates fewer than 5%
do - which has provided Apple with a rationale for equipping its new
MacBook Pro laptops with higher-capacity, sealed-in batteries in
computers with the same size and weight as their predecessors, but with
33% and 46% greater charge capacity.

MacBook Pro Upgrade Project Complete
Thomas Fitzgerald reports:
"I've been tinkering with a little project for a while now. I have a
two and a half year old MacBook Pro that I've been slowly adding new
parts to in an attempt to breathe new life into it. I started by upping
the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB a while ago. I then proceeded to
replace the hard drive with a 500 GB model, replacing the 160 that was
in it. Along the way my motherboard failed due to the infamous Nvidia
graphics failure, but the upside to this was a brand new motherboard
courtesy of Apple. Finally, I have replaced the rapidly failing
battery. I would normally have just bought a new laptop, but there was
nothing really wrong with this one, bar the above...."

Leopard on a 9" Dell Netbook

member of the third group. As a perfect example, I'm writing this

Apple, Tablets, and the Matrix
O'Reilly
Radar's Mark Sigal notes he's written several times before about what
he contends will be Apple's inevitable assault on the Tablet market,
but that he hadn't factored until recently is how symbiotic such a
device would be for Baby Boomers, who, now aged 53-73, constitute a
whopping 70M+ demographic cohort in the US.
"Take this one to the bank: the Hardware Matrix is coming.
"What is the Matrix? Envision a world where the Mac, Apple TV,
iPhone, iPod touch, Boomer Tablet and iPhone Nano (rumored),
respectively, all leverage a common SDK, plug into the App Store and
integrate with Mobile Me (in addition to iTunes), and you understand

13" MacBook Pro: 'I Am Loving It!'
AppleMatters' Chris Howard says:
"One of the most exciting moments in any nerd's life is getting a
new computer. For Mac nerds, being as passionate as we are, that moment
is doubly exciting. Today it was my turn as my new MacBook Pro 13"
turned up.
"A couple of months back I wrote about the difficulty in affording
Macs for a lot of people, and me in particular being on government
benefits. So you're probably wondering how I can afford a MacBook Pro.
Well, since then, two things happened. Firstly I discovered a no
interest loan scheme for low income earners....
"Secondly, I had been saving for several months for a Mac mini and
was half way there (AU$600). So all up, I could then afford an MBP 13
with a 4 GB RAM upgrade....
"I haven't used this anywhere near long enough yet to be able to
make any definitive conclusions. But . . . I am loving
it!"

MacBook Pro 13 Inch: First Observations and Experiences
'Improvements Across the Board' in 13" MacBook
Pro
T3 says:
"The users spoke. Apple listened. Back in October 2008, the
Cupertino-based computing giant released a 13-inch MacBook featuring its
unibody enclosure, carved from a single piece of aluminium for
lightness and strength. But for some reason, they dropped the FireWire
port. The Apple community was up in arms. With FireWire having been
included in almost every Apple Mac for over a decade, many - perhaps
most - Mac users had at least one peripheral which used FireWire, and
were dismayed to find it missing on the new MacBook. Less than a year
later, in the summer of 2009, Apple upgraded its entire range. The
aluminium 13-inch MacBook joined the Pro range, and the FireWire port
returned, alongside a brand-new built-in SD card reader. Hurrah!
"But the new 13-inch MacBook Pro offers far more than new and
returning expansion ports. It boasts improvements across the board, as
well as a significant price drop . . . There really isn't
much to complain about here. Given the . . . across-the-board
improvements and the drop in price, there's never been a better time to
buy a MacBook."

13" MacBook Pro: Pleasant Surprises
Creative Mac's
John Virata says:
"A week before the annual WWDC, I sprung for a 2.4 GHz MacBook with
4 GB RAM and a 250 GB hard drive. I liked the form factor, and
I've been using a Logitech G11 Illuminated keyboard for several years,
so I knew the benefits that a lit keyboard brings to the table.
"After running the system for several days, fully enjoying it, the
system started to randomly just shut off. At first I thought, maybe it
was a sleep setting, but the issue became more frequent until the
system became unusable. A trip to the local Apple store, confirmed the
unit was DOA, and with a subsequent call to Apple, the system was sent
back for a refund. All this transpired on the day that Apple upgraded
the 'unibody' MacBook to 'Pro' status. So after a few days, I put in an
order for the 2.26 GHz 13-inch MacBook Pro with 4 GB RAM and a 160
GB hard drive. I also bought a 500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate Momentus drive
and installed it. Upgrading the hard drive is a painless installation
by the way....
"The latest TV ads may tell you that Windows notebooks run on the
same processors and can get the job done in the same way, and they can
be had for $400 less than $1199 list on the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Well,
I must say that those commercials are sort of bunk in that they don't
tell you the differences in operating systems and the difference in how
memory is used...."

15" MacBook Pro: Powerful
Register Hardware's Stephen Dean has posted a review of the mid-2009 15" MacBook
Pro, noting that there's more to the latest model than a simple
tweak to the processor speed and a price cut. The discrete GeForce
9600M GT graphics processor, twinned with a GeForce 9400M integrated
graphics processor, is gone on the entry-level model, leaving just the
9400M chipset. Also gone is the previous model's ExpressCard slot,
replaced by a Secure Digital (SD) card slot, and the the new built-in
battery can't be swapped out
Dean reports that Apple claims fewer than 1% of MacBook Pro users
actually used the ExpressCard slot in previous models, and it's
possible to boot the machine from an SD Card, which will be handy for
on-the-road troubleshooting.

'Time to Reconsider the Air'
Macworld's
Jason Snell notes that the MacBook Air is a product that
"lives on the margins", being the slowest laptop and, indeed, the
slowest computer in Apple's current stable, leaving out many features
that are standard on other Mac laptops (including multiple USB ports,
FireWire, ethernet, and optical drive), and Macworld Labs has also
found the latest top-of-the-line Air to actually be slower than its
predecessor in many tests. In short, says Snell, the MacBook Air is an
odd duck.

Products
PR: EDGE Tech , a US-based supplier of DRAM and flash memory
upgrades, portable computing products, storage devices, and other
experience-enhancing technology solutions, has launched a variety of
products including two new flash drives to its established DiskGO line
- one with increased capacities, and the other with a sleek, new design
- as well as two DiskGO portable hard drives with backup software.
EDGE's mega high-capacity 128 GB DiskGO Flash Drive stores
approximately 85,000 photos, 128 hours of video, 32,000 MP3s, or
1,280,000 documents. The drive is housed in a rugged aluminum casing
that provides protection against wear and tear. It includes
CryptArchiver Lite encryption software, a trial version of
CryptArchiver which allows users to encrypt up to 25 MB of data using
128-bit AES encryption. The full version of CryptArchiver, available at
www.edgetechcorp.com/support, encrypts up to 32 GB of data. Exceeding
the US government standard for encryption strength, this robust version
allows users to choose which cipher method they prefer: 256-bit AES or
448-bit Blowfish encryption. Supported by a lifetime warranty and
toll-free technical assistance, the 128 GB DiskGO Flash Drive is USB
powered, and plug and play; there is no need to restart your computer
to begin use.
EDGE's portable 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives allow users to easily
transfer, save, and carry documents, photos, music, and videos while
protecting data from accidental loss. Both hard drives include Dmailer
Backup software, which empowers users to store, sync, and back up files
locally to the device. Users can choose to encrypt data up to 128-bit
AES, as well as schedule backups at specific times or update
automatically, creating peace of mind and ease for the user. In
addition, redundant backup copies can be saved online to a personal
"cloud" - an Internet service location to store information other than
your computer. Users can download and share files from their private
"cloud" with any computer connected to the Internet. The 2.5" portable
hard drive contains a unique, built-in USB cord, meaning no extra cord
or power supply is necessary. Both hard drives are Windows 2000+ and
Mac OS X 10.5+ compatible and are backed by a three-year
warranty.
EDGE is launching a new generation of flash drives to its DiskGO
line. The new DiskGO series is smaller - measuring 1.5" by 0.9" - and
features a shapely contour. Its small and unique design goes anywhere,
and fits easily into inconveniently placed USB ports. This one-piece
flash drive employs a sliding apparatus on its back to expose the USB
interface that connects to the computer.
EDGE is also offering the new generation of DiskGO flash drives with
Dmailer Backup software. All DiskGO Flash Drives are offered with a
lifetime warranty.
