Share the post "My Macbook Turned Off All Of A Sudden"

Not once. But twice. My Macbook suddenly turned off while me and my wife were watching some movies. The first time it happened, I thought, well, it is just a software after all and for more than 3 years since I have this laptop, I can count how many times it either turned off by itself or restarted for no apparent reason.

The second time it happened, I thought to myself, this ain’t normal anymore so I treated it as an issue that something was probably wrong with my Macbook. I searched in Google and found out that majority of the people who had the same problem as me pointed to one major culprit. The internal fan.

And when I checked my iStat Pro widget, the fan was at 0rpm. Even my fan widget was not moving at all. The fan went back to normal after I tried to squeeze the sides of the laptop. I think it may have been my palms pressing hard on the areas beside the mouse pad.

Just in case this may happen to your Macbook, you may want to check out the internal fan first.

Share the post "Apple Unveils Faster MacBook Pros"

Apple unveiled its newest MacBook Pro laptops that feature faster processors and longer battery life (what else is new for new models) while reminding folks that machines can specialize in areas the much-hyped slate computer doesn’t.

Its 13, 15 and 17 inch laptops all have new hardware upgrades including the Core i5 and i7 CPU which the 15 and 17 inch laptops contain.

Apple says the 13-inch has a “groundbreaking” built-in battery that can go 10 hours without recharging and a graphics processor that they say is 80 percent faster than the current model. The 15 and 17 inch models are up to 50 percent faster than its predecessors.

With faster processors, amazing graphics and up to three more hours of battery life, I would have to wait again till next year till the prices of these new models drop. It would be nice to have an i5 or i7 CPU once I decide to buy a new Macbook.
