MacBook Pro :: Light Leakage Or Is It Something Normal
Sep 5, 2009
I have recently realized that the top corner of my screen have more light than the rest of my screen, and I'm wondering whether that is something normal? and everyone is experiencing the same? because I have compared it to my friends Unibody Macbook ( late 2008 ) and it didn't have this type of light on the top. That's just shown when you look at the screen from a higher angel ( from the top ) and while the surrounding atmosphere is dark.
The pictures below shows exactly what I'm talking about.[URL]
I usually don't complain about stuff but I noticed last night on my MBP (one below) that I have some light leakage on the left and right side of the panel. When I have a dark wallpaper you can defiantly notice it.
I got my 2009 2.66Ghz Quad Mac Pro with the ATI4870 graphics card a few weeks ago. I noticed that when the machine is off, but connected to an ungrounded (or shared with other devices) electric outlet, the whole case gets electrified and power leaks to it. If one's touching it the machine and making direct contact with the floor, it gives small-pulsing-continuous electric shocks.
My 2010 13" Pro seems to have some blue/magenta light leaking from the bottom of the screen. This is only visible with the brightness turned up and against a black background (i.e. when watching a letterbox movie). It's quite different from the "typical" white light leak that I've witnessed on other lcds. Would this be "normal"?
Also - and this may seem like nit-picking - but my caps lock key feels a bit flimsier than the rest of the keys. Again - is this "normal"?

I consistently find that when using Safari (or Firefox), within a short period of time (sometimes even less than one hour), the browser has taken over nearly all available memory. This happens even when the browser is the only program in use, and when no webpages with extensive audio or video content are open.
Can someone explain to me why this happens -- i.e., why web browsers seem to hog all the memory they can find -- and (more importantly) whether I can take steps to prevent it from happening?
As an example, my current System Memory readings (from Activity Monitor), with only 'Firefox' and 'Activity Monitor' open, are: Free memory 74.9 MB (but frequently dropping to less than 10 MB) Wired 228.4 MB Active 1.20 GB Inactive. 504.5 MB Used 1.92 GB VM size 31.99 GB Page ins. 292.1 MB Page outs 120.6 MB Swap used 518.7 MB
Most unusual, is that I do not see any application in Activity Monitor using much real memory, yet it reports 2.21 GB memory active. I have had as much as 1.4GB swap space used, with no obvious culprit.
When I am in a quiet room, I notice a light humming coming from my macbook pro and also a light vibration on the right side. Is this just the hd spinning or something to be concerned about? it is 2 weeks old.
I just got my 13" MacBook Pro back from being repaired (apple replaced the display and the logic board), and now it is running at 83 degrees C (according to iStat Pro) and the fans are only at 2000rpm. Is that normal? My computer never used to be this hot. I can't even hear the fans running.
From the time I bought my new Macbook in Mid-February, it gets hot over small stuff.... and starts getting way hot when i start playing any game like CivilisationV, Sims3 etc.Sometimes its CPU temperature reaches ~93 degrees Celsius and Fan Speen reaches 6500 rpm according to istat pro of Dashboard, and it gets difficult to even rest my palm on the sides of touchpad and keypad.. I contacted customer care here, and they said to make a backup cuz they will put Lion again.. Is it Operating System's fault? Dirt's Fault? Manufacturer defect? or is it Normal?My Charger adapter also gets wayy too much hot after around 20 minutes that I cudnt even touch it!
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 13-inch, Late 2011, i5-2.4Ghz, 4GB
Anyone know of any companies that have announced new sleeves for the new MBA 13"?Using a normal backpack and would feel a lot more comfortable using a sleeve
According to istatpro my fan exhaust speed when not doing anything (ie straight away when I turn the laptop on) is 1800rpm and I can hear fan noise on the right hand side when just sat normally using the laptop (ie not with my ear to it!). Is this fan speed and noise normal? Because on my old powerbook, when doing nothing, made no fan noise at all.
I recently purchased the latest iteration of the MBP 2.2 ghz. When plugged into a wall socket (220v here in HK), if I touch the lid I can feel a light electrical current in my hand - similar to the feeling of electric massagers, a light vibrating feeling. I didn't notice this while plugged in in the States (though I bought the comp here in HK). It doesn't hurt, but is this normal, or something I should be concerned about?
Lately my year old macbook has been getting very hot when I watch videos on Safari. If I pause the video it cools down fairly quickly but this never used to happen. I looked at the CPU usage using Activity Monitor while this was happening and Safari was consistently around 100. Also, when I am on the dashboard CPU usage of inoRT jumps to over 150%. This does not seem normal.
I have read a lot of forums and discussions about the Mac battery. The normal life should be around 300 Charges. Mine has already more than 722 and is about 2 years old, but still has 100% life with sometimes dropping to 96%.Has somebody else exp. this kind of long life of the battery ? How long can a battery actually last ?
I have the new 2.4 aluminum macbook and today for the first time I started burning cds and I noticed the whole computer vibrates pretty strongly. Is that normal? Also if i pick up the macbook and move it slightly while its burning it makes a weird noise. Is that normal also?
My 13 inch Macbook has been getting kind of warm on the right side lately, and with iStat Pro it appears the temperatures of the picture I'm uploading. Are these temperatures normal?? Are the fans okay? I'm not sure, but I think it's been a little slow as well, and I've just bought it 3 months ago...
i just got the new macbook pro and have been using it quite often for the last couple of weeks. I can't help but notice how hot it gets and wonder if its normal.
Whats the normal operating temp of a MPB 13 with just using safari and ichat over wifi. SMC fan control shows (57C)137F and i just want to know if thats normal
All I was doing was watching Brothers & Sisters on ABC's web site... So, yes, I was using the wi-fi. I had screen brightness dimmed to about 50%, and I turned the backlight off on the keyboard... So is 1 hour normal?
I noticed the fan was running the whole time. I didn't realize watching a video online would cause the processor to heat up so much!!
I checked the CPU utilization, and definitely Safari was cranking it up there...
I have myself a unibody macbook 13'' and was searching for a unibody macbook pro 13" because of the longer battery life. On an auction site I've found a company that sells a unibody macbook pro 13" with a TFT screen and a resolution of 1280 x 800.
Now I have searched on the internet, but I couldn't find anything about a TFT screen on a 13" unibody. My question is: what is the difference between a normal LED-screen and a TFT-screen. Should I go for it of is the quality much worse?
I just got my first 13' MacBook Pro 1 week ago and a couple of days I ran a cross a thread about how to look up your battery condition and most peoples said their Battery Condition was "Good" but mine is showing "Normal" and I just got it a week ago. My question is, is this really normal or should it say Good?
I installed iStat Nano to monitor the temps in my mbp, and I have to ask... Is 65 degrees for the cpu and 54 for the gpu acceptable? I am plugged into an external monitor, and am running iTunes, Firefox, last.fm, and Vuze. Is it normal to be this hot? I feel like I have a heating pad on my lap.
My pops brought his macbook (older one) cross the boarder and on the way back i guess they took it apart and now when hes using it the screen goes from normal to random colors ( like the white noise things on tv, but colors) i will take pictures.
