For those of you lucky enough to own a 13-inch or 15-inch Macbook Pro, you’ll be glad to hear that Apple issued a Firmware update today that fixes the hard drive’s tendency to make noise or freeze. This update applies to those who purchased the Unibody laptop in June and with a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive.
A buddy of mine, who purchased a 15-inch Macbook Pro has already had his hard drive replaced after just a few months of use. Since were on the topic of flaws, Apple’s design team overlooked just how uncomfortable the computer’s edges are on the wrists. Anything else that’s worth noting?
To grab the update, just hit your system preferences and fire up ’software update’ or hit the ‘read’ link.

Not that we’ve been holding our breaths on this, but Dell has finally ‘outed’ their Adamo laptop. I’m not sure I’m ‘falling in love’ (that’s the loose meaning of the word in Latin) but with a claim of the world’s thinnest laptop (.64-inches) I’m relatively impressed.
Physically the Adamo is crafted from one piece of aluminum – similar to Apple’s new Macbooks – and it most certainly stinks of a Mac wanna be humanization. Starting at $1,999 you’ll get a Intel Core 2 Duo processors, DDR3 RAM, 13.4-inch 1366×768 edge-to-edge screen, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, up to a 5 hour battery, 2x USB ports, 1x USB/eSata combo port, Display Port, Vista Home Premium and your choice of an Onyx or or Pearl finish. All of that equates to 4lbs; almost a pound more than its closest competitor, the Macbook Air.
Cnet scored a hands on and their version included 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo U9300, 2GB of RAM, and a 64GB SSD hard drive (optional 128GB SSD, maybe) but that might change when these things become available for purchase world wide starting March 26th.
Video and full release after the ‘leap’
