It woulda been nice if Daily Tech's post was believable. Being the only source to catch wind of this "vital" news seems a bit suspicous. But the whine issue can be easily fixed w/ …

Complete BS. Apple has been using this serial number designation for years. I'm not sure about the W8 part (location code maybe) but the next three numbers indicate the year and …

My bad. I decided to log into GSX (Apple service site for partners) and check for sure (something I should have done first). There are no notes out yet about MBP logic board "upd…

whether this is true or not, my version W8613, shipped saturday, and i got monday, does not have a whine and is not even close to being too hot for handle. So im quite happy with …

Similarly, my w8612 doesn't whine.

How does anybody define "Too hot" I don't like how hot my MBP can get but I'm not sure it is "too hot" If I put my hand underneath it when the processor is actually doing something…

Mine is definitey not hot to a point where i don't want to handle it except when it is plugged into the AC which then it can fry an egg on the left side. Does this match anyone els…

Mine is definitely burnably hot on the area above the F keys... do I get a replacement? W8610 - "Rev C"... heh. I can say from being an Intel insider, Rev C, Rev D - that's Intel…

I'm gonna call BS on this one. My MBP is a W8612. It is hot, it has the whine and it loses the wireless network connection on a regular basis.

I think mine gets too hot but I'm reluctant to do anything till it is certain that changing those logic board and sensors makes any difference. If we could get some program that ga…

I call BS on this as well -- with solid evidence. I've owned an 08 revision and now a 12 revision. They are nearly identical. The whine is the same on both, and the mirror widge…

I have a W8612 model, and it does whine.

Mine is off to Apple for repair. Will let you know if the "processor" whine gets fixed.

Help- how do I upload the backup CDs I produced back onto my PC - big exclamation marks next to the titles and therefore couldn't edit anyof them. Any ideas gratefully received. Ch…

Make sure that in the iTunes preferences "Copy items added to library into the iTunes music folder" is checked (on). Then locate the CD with the backups in your file manager (Exp…
