The Sound Of My Dying Macbook Pro
Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 19:08 | baratunde | tagged Apple, Lemon, Mac, Macbook Pro, Technology, drop.io in General
I just tend to wear out technology tools very quickly. I certainly push them harder than most users. I also get unlucky when it comes to lemons. The first Macbook I got was the 13" black one. It suffered from "random shutdown syndrome" which is a bug so absurd, that its official name is "random shutdown syndrome!"
This is what my current Macbook Pro sounds like after I boot it. I'm not sure what the cause is, but the solution is to get rid of this damn thing. I got notice today that my new Macbook Pro has shipped. I maxed on all the specs because I just need the power.
Farewell to my noisy friend whom I backup daily.

My original MacBook Pro with a Core Duo processor did this. All you need to do is send it to replace the fans. Mine had this very same problem. Even if you're out of Apple Care, it shouldn't be an expensive procedure.
Hey Baratunde,
What's your plan with the old Mac Book? If you're interested in selling it let me know. I am in the market for one.
I had to crank up the volume to hear your clip over the sound of my MacBook Pro making the same ugly sounds.
I have MacBook Pro but i didn't get any problem till now that is the biggest thing.

This is something that is quite normal with Mac Books ...i guess u need to have some Tech to have a look at the Fans if they are working fine......This is an interesting piece of article. ....Keep up the Good Work....
very interisting, ididn't know about it, great site, knowledge increasing.I like the idea,it's very social networky and the bonus is that your link will stay up there longer, than it would with digg.

Get a new one, with latest technology. The MacBook is a brand of Macintosh notebook computers by Apple Inc. First introduced in May 2006, it replaced the iBook and 12" PowerBook series of notebooks as a part of the Apple Intel transition. Part of the MacBook family, the MacBook is aimed at the education and consumer markets. It is the best-selling Macintosh in history :)

All the Apple products don't give problems, i'm really sad to hear about your problem, i've been using macbook for 3 years and haven't had a single problem, but no matter what machines would be machines.

Mac products are now trusted everywhere around the world. And they're sturdy compared to other laptops. Maybe next time you could just ask for a replacement or a repair if your laptop was still under warranty.
