Hello everyone, I recently got a stock 2.4 Aluminum MacBook and I'm really enjoying it. I have noticed a few things that differ from my previous Windows laptop though, and while they don't bother me and very well could be normal, I just wanted to make sure everything was okay before 14 days pass.
First of all, when the laptop is on it vibrates noticeably. I know this is a normal thing but my old 15 inch Windows laptop didn't seem to be as obvious. With the MacBook, no one not using the machine will notice anything but from putting your hand on anywhere on the body you can feel it. If you close the lid, you can feel that it's on by placing your hand on top before the machine goes to sleep. I guess that's really the only way I can describe it, I might have to go to an Apple store to compare it to another model to be sure.
Secondly, when waking up from sleep, the disk drive makes some noise, even though there is no disk inserted. Again, it doesn't really bother me and it seems to work alright, but I've never noticed it on my friend's plastic MacBooks and just want to know if it's normal.
Thanks for all your help.
