After all these problems with MacBook Pro, the buyers are preparing to boycott Apple.
The buyers are mad about two things: the problems that appear with MacBook Pro and the lack of response from Apple.
One of the big problems with the notebooks is that they are heating very much and this seems to be a simple lack of assembly care during manufacturing.
Some MacBook owners opened up their laptops (thus voiding their warranty) in search of the source that heats the laptop so much and they found out the CPU, GPU and northbridge have too much thermal grease that is not allowing the parts to release the heat properly. After cleaning the parts they discovered that the heat was reduced with up to 18 degrees.
But besides all that, they are mad about Apple refuses to respond to these accusations. The company has in some cases, told customers that their issues are within operating specifications and are “normal.” Despite being a laptop, Apple’s own usage warnings indicate that placing a MacBook Pro on bare skin could cause burns after extended use.
OSx86 Project, a large Mac community is organizing a formal complaint about all these. They call for all MacBook Pro owners to call into Apple’s support center and report their problems all at the same time. The planned call center flooding is aimed to get Apple to respond to the ongoing issues that are plaguing MacBook Pros.
Here is a part of the announcement that can be found here:
“This is the best way we can hold Apple accountable. It’s our duty to make sure they know we won’t tolerate hacks and unsupported fixes to fix an issue that shouldn’t be there. This is nothing malicious and we do it with the most admirable of reasons – telling Apple we love their characteristically high quality and won’t settle for less. Since we pay for the ability to call technical support when have an issue, we should use it.”
