Did I read somewhere that the speakers now have subwoofers on the 15 and 17 inch models?Or has it always been that way?
Id love to be able to swap out my 13" battery for a newer higher capacity battery.... Is this possible? How can i find thw part number of the new battery?
There's not a huge scope for change, really. Good to see that Apple are constantly trying to refine their internal designs too.
I am sorry but clearly you do not belong here if you are willing to admit you were wrong and correct yourself.![]()
The Powerbook G4's have subwoofers. The only time I notice the sub is during the startup "bong". The iBooks aren;t as deep of a bong.
I'm such an obtuse bastard sometimes.Yes, that's the way it's been for quite a few generations. I think the other poster was referring to the fact that it's probably questionable to call anything that size a sub-woofer.
Typically, a sub-woofer would generate frequencies less than about 60-100 Hz (although there may not be a standard definition, that's the way most audio people would see it). I doubt if this particular little speaker is going to do much below 100 Hz.
I would call it a woofer, but even that's a bit of a stretch (particularly since there are only 2 pairs of speakers. Tweeter/woofer makes more sense than tweeter/subwoofer). But, then, that doesn't sound as good to the marketing people as sub-woofer.
Apple has dramatically reduced this machine’s power consumption, and we expect it to run quite a bit cooler than the previous model.
Yet Anandtech said it was noticeably warmer. Should probably try and use it before you tear it apart iFixit![]()

I would rather Apple charge the price they are charging if what they are doing is just refining rather than completely redesigning, thus making for a whole new notebook with growing pains. This is a better service to the customer.
Do the new unibodys have PLASTIC hinges!?![]()
Why would you even bother? You're looking at a 5% increase in capacity, which translates to 20 minutes in the best-case scenario.
It there a reference to plastic hinges in the iFixit teardown? I couldn't find it.
Maybe they reduced the power consumption and decided to use more passive heat dissipation, running the fans less (which would further reduce consumption - since fan motors drink juice).
Lower power means less heat generated, but doesn't necessarily mean that the body will be cooler to touch.
I hope that having a thinner camera cable was not deemed more important than WiFi signal strength. I'm really interested to know how the new machines fare on reception compared to the previous.
