Does Your MacBook Moo?

[YenZi]

Mooooos as hell

Mine moos etremely bad. With Linux in a Parallels VM
it constantely moos. What I just found out is, that if the MacBook is in horizontal position ( and that is the position I usualy use such devices ) the fans growl. Whe lifting the MacBook into a diagonal position the fans are much much more silent. So I think, I will return mine the next days, since it seems, that this is an additional problem to the one, that the fans start,stop,start,stop,moo,moo,moo, forerver ...

I spoke to a tech and they are aware of the problem. I hope that they come up with a software of hardware fix for the moo and the heat. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Argh! I shouldn't have read these posts... Mine moos, but I hadn't really noticed it before. It is quite quiet -- I don't think you would notice it in a standard office/classroom environment, but it's definitely there. Actually kind of funny. More annoying for me is the squishy trackpad, but it seems to be better now after following the instructions here:

Yes my MacBook moos like an orphaned calf on a winters night. Its a 4H6212..... and I have read this is a common complaint. It also feels quite hot - almost untouchable in places. Is it fixable?

MooFix Widget

I became so frustrated with my mooing MacBook that I decided to create a dashboard widget that prevents the mooing noise.

I have also created a petition to hopefully get Apple to release an official fix.
