New Macbook Pro 7,200rpm hard drives have freezing and noise issues

I know you are an Apple fan, you love all the Apple gadgets and you also believe that Apple can bring you your dream gizmos but I have a point!! Apple sometimes also drives you nuts! Yes, when you pay your life out for an iPhone 3GS and it starts heating too much, it can’t keep up with you at anyplace with more than 35 degrees of temperature! When you buy a Macbook and it heats too much! When you buy an iPod Touch and it explodes in your pants, when buy an Macbook Air and it doesn’t have an optical drive ( now please stop abusing me, I am not that bad ).

You have now got another reason to not trust Apple. Yes, the new Macbook Pro 7,200rpm hard drives have freezing and noise issues! Multiple users are reporting that they hear a tick tick sound coming out of their new Macbook Pro and it sometimes freezes too. So their expectations of having a dream, heavenly gizmo is driving them nuts so far!

You were planning to buy a Macbook Pro? I am not suggesting you to cancel your plan, just go through this discussion and find your way out before you buy one!

    Check out how my MacBook Pro’s battery came out of the bag yesterday (the notebook was stored in there for a couple of weeks, without using it and it was max 20-25°C here in Switzerland:

    It’s the original battery, about 4-4.5 years old. NEVER EVER HAVE I SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. And: that MacBook Pro 17″ was certainly not a bargain when bought new!

    The “Tick” sound is the auto park for the read/write head on the hard drive.
    It happens when you move the laptop to avoid a disk crash.
    Get your facts straight before you go saying stuff. Mine runs quietly,
    and if it gets hot, I turn the fans up.

    You are a insane. I own a MacBook Pro & iPhone 3G and live in India and temp. are here always more than 40.C ,but the iPhone has no issues with it.

    But the MacBook Pro gets hotter when you use it for more than 2 hour.

    The unibody MacBook Pro’s produce less heat than the older one.

    Apple is Apple and no one can take the crown.

    So better for you is to accept it as soon as possible.
