he very kindly did a test for me the other day, and Apple want to know what processor his MBP has in it so they can decide whether to tell me to deal with it myself or actually do something about it for me. If anyone knows what MBP he has, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks.
 
aHA! you've got the same one as me! They're trying to tell me that it's supposed to do that, so I pulled the "my friend sez his doesn't do it" so I have to find out which yours is.

thank you :)
 
they're maintaining that yours is doing it using voodoo. I might actually cry.

There saying that a MBP isn't suppose to charge when the processor is running at 100% ? That sounds crazy to me. What happens if you want to encode a long video the battery will go flat before it finishes.

that's what I said, except the case I used was one that actually happened to me - the battery died and machine powered off whilst I was installing Windows the other day :/

On a plus side (a really big plus side, actually), they've said that if I take the box and everything back (lucky I didn't throw it away like I was going to a couple of weeks ago), they'll exchange it for the 2.5Ghz, which I'm really happy with as by their terms, they shouldn't have to do anything as what I see is an error is actually expected behaviour.

Once again, totally chuffed with Apple - they seemed like they weren't going to pull through for a while, but that was a good one!!
 
yeah, I was wondering that. Luckily, I still have the box from my laptop before this one, and the one before. What can I say, I'm a box-keeper!
 
I tried to put mine in the loft but the guy in the flat upstairs had a massive go at me.
 
WOAH, that's good.

I thought this was going to turn in to a "I've emailed Steve Jobs" thread ;)

hehe, I'm not that bad! I didn't expect them to straight out trade it for a higher spec - same one I can understand, but higher spec (and their justification for it) is a little confusing. Still, not that I'm complaining! :D
 
Apple customer care is generally pretty good :)

My power adapter broke recently - it frayed at the magsafe connector end. A 1hr phonecall to Apple and a week or so later (well, actually 3, since it got 'held up' but I was away so it didn't matter) I got a new one, free of charge.

Like with Sic here, they didn't admit there was a problem - but the new adapter has a longer, stronger-looking sheath at the end. So hmmmm :p

There was a known-issue with the MagSafe fraying ;)
 
Glad to hear it's working out for you.

I'm trying your little test on mine right now, got both cores toasting away and it's only taken five minutes to drop from fully charged to 87% :eek:

Yup, charging just fine :)
 
nice one doug, thanks for doing that. Hopefully after tonight I'll have a laptop that charges properly too! How exciting! :D
