if the MBP 13" gets i7 processor, i wonder what proccesor will apple put into the 15" & 17" MBP's??

then mbp 13 will explode due heat problem
good thinking

I thought the TDP for the current mobile i7 and the new SB i7 is the same.

i wanna ask if anyone having problem with the wifi...

for me when i open my macbook pro from sleep mode, the wifi will connect but then it takes sometime only it can online...i cannot load any website as if i am offline and i have to wait around 10 minutes then only i can open the webpage...is this normal???

the MBW/MBP13 never get the better procs... i'd say just i3, not even i5

sometimes i can online instantly sometimes i cant...so what should i do about it??? it sometimes kinda makes me frustrated when im urgently need access to the internet...

do you have ACPP?

call them ask them to service for free?

10 minutes definitely is too long. What router are you using? I'm using a DLink DIR-655. Sometimes my MBP is connected to my iPad running MyWi. In neither case, do I have any probs connecting to the Internet after waking from sleep.

i tried that. currently running on messenger 8 but still cant connect.

Hey guys, I'm using the macbook pro 17". I've read around that the batteries on mac tend to swell sometime. Does it happen to the new generation macbook too?

yes, eventually you need to get the battery replaced.
dont use fully drain then charge, that make the battery getting worsed.
dont use in too cold/too hot condition

get applecare if possible

Yet to see any swelling battery case on unibody models peronally. It happened mostly on older design Alu MacBook Pro and black/white MacBook that uses removable battery design.

as I expected.. mac users are usually dumb in terms of hardware... you can google it.. it even cooler than current proc, more powerful, high TDP but use lower power... its i7 use even lower power than current Intel 2.4Ghz on MBP 13"


demand for high end proc in MBP 13" is really high now.. maybe Apple come out with that

bro, i'm having the same problem with my mpro 13" and macbook alu.. are u using Innacomm modem provided by TMnet? my problem occurred when they changed my modem to Innacomm..

at work, no problem at all..

I disagree and I think such statement are inappropriate! I found even more other platform users that are not so hardware savvy (since the number of other platform is greater). But I agree many LYN user like to get spoon-fed. It has nothing to do with Mac user or not. They are just lazy, even to search and read.

Although Sandy Bridge is better in terms of thermal and power consumption, we still have to put the whole system in mind. Things like GPU, HDD, DC-in, LCD all can generate heat and/or suck power. My wish-list is dumping the optical drive and make it even lighter, slimmer and longer battery life. And maybe flash storage as default?

Come on man, I didn't say you were dumb. If I implied that, I apologise. Having said that...

The TDP is the same. 35w for 640m & 2620M. You don't have to google it. No sense in being lazy when the official info is available from Intel. It's in Intel tech notes for the Sandy Bridge CPU. When an engineer designs an enclosure for a CPU, the TDP is what they design for. The TDP correlates directly to heat. You can read up more about it in the library.

Added on February 18, 2011, 11:25 amAny help if you use fixed IP instead of DHCP? Does the prob happen if encryption is off?

Things you can try on your wifi router:
1. Set a channel instead of using Auto.
2. Use a fixed channel width, say 20MHz, instead of Auto.
3. If you don't need b/g/n. Set to n only or g/n.
4. Try turning off UPNP on the router.
5. Keep the modem provided by Telekom's lowest bidder as a backup and buy a cheap TPLink or DLink.

Let us know if any of the above helps. I'm sure there're plenty more people encountering this prob.

Some of you guys seems to know what Sandy Bridge.. but don't know what it capable :
Temperature: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4084/intels-...le-landscape/11

Power and Battery : http://www.anandtech.com/show/4084/intels-...ile-landscape/9

Yeah, they test i7 QUAD CORE.. not normal dual core i7 as current lineup.. graphics are integrated to processor itself.. not on the motherboard..

read in library is only reading architecture... which isn't doing the test in real world~

First thing, don't go to the PAM library when dealing with CPUs. They are entirely devoted to architecture.

Second, none of the articles you linked to validates anything that you have said. Care to explain?

Third, when proving yourself correct, use proper sentence structure to avoid ambiguity.

Fourth, to keep to the spirit of this thread:

Yesterday, at last, after days of procrastination, I hooked up my new MBP to the 24" Dell monitor. My current setup is MBP to 24" Dell via DVI. My other "Mac" is now relegated to using the VGA port on the Dell monitor. My Dell only has 1 DVI and 1 VGA. I have one set of keyb/mouse so the other "Mac" is controlled through Apple Remote Desktop. Very convenient. Basically the other "Mac" has effectively now become a headless server but is still very important to my setup because of the multiple eSata docks connected to it.

ok let say the next gen mbp 13 will come out with i5.
now mbp 15 are using 2 fans to control the temp so if the next mbp 13 is i5/i7 proc, how do the mbp wants to control the temp with 1 fan?

i'm sure destfull has an answer since we Mac users are usually dumb in terms of hardware? hmm?
