Are there bad things?

Video tearing
The biggest issue so far is a video glitch that appears primarily when using Front Row applications. Users experience video tearing (meaning that sections of video flicker and appear where they're not supposed to), random horizontal lines, and ghosting (a second ghost image of the object on the screen appears next to it). These glitches obscure the image so badly that Front Row becomes unusable. If this describes your experience, don't worry--you're hardly alone.

Apple was a bit slow in addressing this problem, and when we first spoke to Apple PR about it, all we got was: "Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it. If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare." Judging by the comments in Apple's discussion forums, many people did just that but found that AppleCare wasn't much use. Users reported tech support reps who claimed to have never heard of the problem or who weren't given instructions on dealing with it. Some tech support reps asked the callers to return their iMacs for repair and treated the problem as a hardware issue.

Enterprising users, however, discovered that it was a software issue. Apple shipped Intel iMacs running two different builds of OS X 10.4.4; these go by the codes 8G1165 and 8G1171. Nearly all the users experiencing video problems ran 8G1171. To find out which build you're using, go to the Apple Menu pull-down and select About This Mac, then click the More Info button. This opens the System Profiler utility. Click Software on the left and look under System Version. You'll see your build number in parentheses after the OS version.

Luckily, Apple addressed the problem in a software update on February 14. To get the update, which addresses this and a variety of other issues, open the Software Update System Preference and click the Check Now button. The update, labeled 10.4.5, is only a 6.4MB download for PowerPC Mac users, but a giant 40MB download for Intel Macs. The update doesn't fix every problem Intel Mac users have found, but it effectively cures the video-tearing issue.

Wireless woes
Several different wireless connection issues are plaguing users, but so far only one of the issues has a fix. If you aren't able to connect to your wireless network and you're using a Westell Versalink 327W router, then that's the problem. The Intel iMac doesn't seem to be compatible with it, so you'll need to switch to one from a different maker. An AirPort Express Base Station is pricey but will certainly do the trick.

Other users have reported their wireless connections dropping out during long file transfers or oscillating between fast and slow throughput rates. With these issues, the solution isn't clear; discussion board members haven't yet discovered the source of the problem, and Apple hasn't released a fix. (Apple's official response is, "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare.") We tried several large downloads, including a 1.3GB file, and saw no problems with our review model of the iMac Core Duo, but that of course doesn't mean the issues don't exist. Until someone gets to the bottom of it, just know that some users have had wireless networking issues. If that feature is important to you, you'll want to follow the issue closely before you make a purchase.

Please help me, I'm planning to get one. Wireless device is really necessary for me.

 

hix, anyone help me please!!!

 

Wait, there is a question in here? I didn't see any question marks, I thought it was just a post about what you found out or something.

Daniel, most of those things are just a few problems a select few out of hundred thousands out there, My Macbook came in fine and everything is working great, and it doesn't have any heat issues at all, at times it gets warm, but not hot.

Wireless on Macbooks/MBP are none other than Atheros cards, basically the best wireless card you can get, people sometimes get a defective product it happens, and many need to stop thinking that Apple is perfect, because it's not, it's just like any other company out there....plain and simple...SOMETIMES bad products get through.

Any other questions please ask.

 

Thank you for your caring! Actually, I gave the article as a question " Are there bad things". When I read it, I dont understand much so I am not sure about the problem here is.
Another, can Macbook connect with normal PC devices?( I mean a normal mouse, keyboard or usb...)

 

Generally Yes, pretty much all mice, keyboards and a large majority of USB devices will work, its up to you to make sure when you look at the system requirements of a device, to check for Mac OS X compatibility.

As for the Macbook, check out apple.com for a store locator/reseller and find a nearby spot, nothing can really take the place of on-hands experience with a product, and the Mac people will be happy to help you on anything.

Apple has EXCELLENT customer service, all based in the US. You won't be struggling to understand foreign accents. Warranty is provided worldwide for mobile line, desktop is not. I would recommend the AppleCare Extention, even know Apple has a high quality product, like I said a few bad apples get through sometimes (yes you already get a one year warranty) but down the road after that one year you'll be thankful, if something should go wrong such as the LCD screen, you'll be saving a LOT of money for a new screen because you have APP. Remember AppleCare does not cover Cosmetic or Abusive damages.

As for filesizes, I guess it's a bit true, but you have to understand that Apple is moving an entire product lines from an old architecture to a brand new one that is entirely different, it involves a more coding, eventually this should go down.

Aftter having a good number of songs and installing what you need on the Macbook (assuming you get a 60GB HDD) you will have roughly 20-25GB left, all which is a quite a bit of space for your basic needs. Anything such as video-editing/sound-editing, you'll want more space.

I haven't noticed any video tearing at all.
