There are two other visual clues that this ‘Book is different. It is a bit larger and thinner than the 15″ PowerBook G4.
The new MacBook Pro looks a lot like the old 15″ PowerBook G4 at first glance, but its 15.4″ 1440 x 900 display (up from 15.2″ and down from 1440 x 960) is the brightest Apple has ever used on a notebook. The Intel-based pro laptop is known as the MacBook Pro, a name that met with a less-than-enthusiastic reception at the Expo keynote.īuilt around Intel’s Core Duo CPU, the new ‘Book offers up to 4x the performance of the old one. This is the first time in Apple history that a computer has been released with a faster CPU than originally announced, and it’s also the first time Apple has offered a faster CPU as a build-to-order option in a notebook.Īpple marked the transition to Intel by discontinuing the well-known, long-respected PowerBook name. The US$1,999 MBP ships with a 1.83 GHz CPU instead of 1.67 GHz, and the US$2,499 MBP has a 2.0 GHz CPU instead of 1.83 GHz.įor those clamoring for even more speed, there’s a 2.16 GHz build-to-order option at a US$300 premium. Look on eBay, or try to find the same model fan on DigiKey - if it's there.To the pleasant surprise of the Mac community, Apple began shipping the MacBook Pro (MBP) the week of 2006.02.14 – and with faster CPUs than originally announced. Also - iFixit gets insane money for those fans.
Degreasing it in strong solvent can remove this, however given the sizes of the parts, and how it's put together - is no trivial task.Įdit #3: Realized I linked to the wrong model - linked to the correct one. Other times, the lubricant will gel up / carbonize on the bearing surfaces due to the heat, and mixing with dust / debris. Because at that point - the bearing has already run dry - and worn down / damaged. At that point - adding oil likely will only fix it for a few hours, then it'll start making noise again. If you mean "squeal" or bearing chatter - you're better off replacing the fan with a new one entirely. That will help it slow down / run quieter. If by noisy - you mean loud / blowing fast - it's more likely dust built up on your heat exchanger / exhaust area - blow some compressed / canned air or vacuum the dust out.
