I love my MacBook, but… for the last few weeks it’s been frustrating me no end. About three weeks ago the wireless connections would start dropping suddenly. My other wireless computers experienced no such problem, and the problem would occur on 3 different wireless networks.
Some days it would happen once or twice, other days 20 or 30 times.
Then, last week, one day it started to power off completely without warning and without a trace in the error log. It did it 5 or 6 times the first day. The next day, I could barely keep it turned on. It dropped 30 to 40 times. Sometimes right during the boot sequence.
The next day, it happened once… it hasn’t done it since.
But, the day after that, the wireless started dropping like flies again.
It’s going to be such a pain in the butt to take it in to Apple for warranty repair – I’ve gotten completely settled in to this computer and can’t do without it. 🙁

[…] Could Apple’s Macbooks have a serious problem? I don’t mean the one where the plugs fall out or the cases turn colors when you use them, I mean that the notebooks will just up and quit on you. As documented here and here, at least one user is having just this problem. have any other of the shiny Apple users reported this problem yet, or is this smoothing that is yet to hit the blogosphere. I hope that this is an isolated event, I want to buy one of these puppies and would hate to discover that they hold some deep dark secret in the form of random power offs. That would suck, and not in a good way either. […]
