MacBook batteries (including Pro’s) will eventually die out. As with any battery they need to be used in a sensible manner to keep the battery health as long as possible. I have mentioned before about calibrating batteries. But the this post is going to be about making sure you get the most out of your battery.
Its seems Apple has decided to upgrade there laptops with new specs. Today there was announcement saying they have bumped up there laptops with faster Penryn Core 2 Duo CPU’s. As well as this there was a whole range up dates including more memory a faster graphics card and hard drives up to 250Gb. They do cost the earth mind you, although they were in line with previous models. Prices start at $1099 for the Macbook and $2000 for the Macbook Pros.
Many people who by laptops (especially Windows laptops), use the trackpad/touch pad as a means of clicking. By default this is switched off to Mac users, on the flip side it is normally on for Windows users. It is always funny to see a new Mac user trying to click with the touch pad and jabbing there finger ever harder on the touch pad. Thats not the purpose of this story, switching it on is.
This is a bit on an unconfirmed rumor on my part but I would like to post about and see what your feedback on the problem is. In a nutshell I have found on my MacBook Pro there seems to be a build up of static electricity. This is obviously present, since rubbing my hand over certain parts of the body I can feel a small electric charge discharging. This is only a minor discharge but it is still a build up of static electricity, good job I don’t have a heart condition.
