Yes, i saw the other forum about freezing issues and mid 2010 mbp's... but looking for some clarification:

has anyone bought a mbp since August or this month? - not talking about mid 2010 releases (april)....

have you had freezing problems?
do you have an i5 or i7?
fixed with the EFI 1.9 update?

tell me your stories...

I want to get a new 15" mbp (probably i5 due to the poor reputation of the i7's for freezing...) should i wait, or has Apple sorted out the bugs on the new ones rolling out..

I really appreciate your comments and recommendations - spending 3k on a freezing computer is not high on my priority list... but i like apple :D
 
I bought my MBP about a month ago. No freezing issues before or after the EFI update. I do notice when the display is switched from the intel gfx card to nvidia gfx card. Not a big deal.

My 13" mbp with C2D has managed to freeze about 4-5 times in the 4 months since I have had it.

That wouldn't be in august as the OP has specified and OP is asking about i5-i7 neither of which you have...

But I got my i7 15" either august 18-19 and ive had parallels and boot camp on both apples 500gb 7200rpm hdd and my new momentus xt and I think ive only had it freeze once in Windows, not OSx.
 
yo i got a 15" i7 built in mid August. It never freezes unless i'm using google chrome. however i think that this is caused by the chrome browser and not the computer. Any of you guys having freeze issues while chrome is consequently open?

^^ that's good to hear... maybe things are looking up for the i7, plus, the 512mb GPU would be nice...
 
I had some problems running the dev version of chrome to test the HTML5 and since I moved back to public version I haven't had any problems. I do believe that version of Chrome might have caused OSx to freeze once but I don't really count that because I know when it froze it wasn't really the computers fault, I think chrome died or something...I had a good reason at the time it happened but can't remember what happened. But if they're any problems to arise Apple will just release a software update and you'll be good to go so I would go ahead and buy it.
 
Switched from Dell/Windows to get some quality... Not.:mad:

After two days it freezed, probably after a standby/resume:

Click to expand...

yeah, i honestly think so too, i bought mine on sept 1st but built on august 19th, shipped straight from shanghai to california, literally only froze twice, but because google chrome wasn't responding. so i blame it on the browser which is still in a relatively early stage.
 
my MBP15 i5 has a build date of week 37 2010 (sep 2010) .... and doing only mild browising and video editing ... i have had 0, no, zero issues whatsoever. I didnt even have to install the EFI update.
 
I bought my 15" i5 last week and have been using it non stop, even left it on for about 3 or 4 days straight and haven't had any issues at all with it
 
My i5 2.4 has NEVER frozen once. Usually on for 10+ hours per day and almost never shut down (sleep only).
All software updates from :apple: have been installed.
I would go for the i5 anyway, unless you push your machine hard the i7 doesn`t seem like such good value for money
and I suspect that in the "real world" most people won`t notice much performance gain from it.
Put the money you save on the processor into a SSD
 
that's good advice^^^ others say to go with the i5 and upgrade the ram to 8gb... instead of the i7... but an SSD would be nice..
 
I run my i7 15" with 8gig of ram and a 500gb momentus xt and its plenty fast for anything I do including running 3d cad programs on bootcamp. If you really want an ssd for speed you can always get rid of the cd drive and use a cheap $40-60gb ssd for booting and a hdd for storage instead of spending $300+ on a decent size SSD.
 
I've had my MBP 15" i7 for a couple weeks now, and I've only managed to beachball it a couple times, both while running large backups to an external HDD and using many other programs at the same time. But none of the freezes like that were being discussed in the initial thread. So, no problems here!
 
My i7 was built during the first week of August.

I have not experienced a freeze of any kind. There has been some mild beach ball(extremely minor) action related to having multiple flash apps going.
