MacBook Pro Fault

7 November 2008

Just hours after the release of the latest Apple MacBook, the web is awash with reports of a very dodgy trackpad.

The supposedly revolutionary new interface has been causing a myriad of problems for those lucky owners of a brand new MacBook, including the glass cover breaking and the tried and tested physical mouse being employed as a resulution - not the best fix to a very expensive machine.

“Every 50 clicks, my trackpad will stop responding for five to clicks,” reports one poster. “Generally this will resolve itself given a few seconds, and is not directly dependent on number of times the trackpad is clicked while unresponsive.”

“This click problem is driving me insane. I don’t even attempt to use this machine unless I’m at a desk using a mouse. On the couch, I use my old Macbook Pro. They better fix this.”

It’s a very concerning problem, and while there is apparently no resolution at the moment, a product recall/replacement looks extremely likely.
