artvader Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Apple Computer seems to be suffering from a lot of problems with quality control lately: IPods are riddled with Windows viruses, laptop batteries are bursting into flames, and MacBooks are randomly shutting down. Every few days, there are fresh reports of battery recalls, mooing MacBooks or iPods that scratch too easily. But is Apple's reputation for quality really slipping? It's my impression that Apple's quality control is no better or worse than before -- we're just hearing about it more. Consider that Apple is growing like crazy. The company shipped 1.6 million Macs and 8.8 million iPods last quarter. That's more computers and iPods than in any three months in the company's history, representing a 30 percent to 35 percent annual growth rate. This past year, Apple sold more than 39 million iPods and 5.3 million Macs, all while switching to a brand new architecture based on Intel chips. If 99 percent of these Macs and iPods are in good working order, and 1 percent were defective, there would be 53,000 malfunctioning Macs out there and about 390,000 dodgy iPods. That's almost 450,000 upset Apple customers, all making a stink on forums and websites. I don't think there's anything like that number, or even half that, or half that. There obviously are some problems; that can't be denied. And certain machines seem more problematic than others. There are few complaints about the iMac, but lots of bitching about MacBook Pros. The problem is figuring out whether the problems are widespread, or restricted to a small -- but vocal -- minority. One of the joys of writing for the net is hearing from scores of copy Nazis and propellerheads if you make a mistake or express a controversial view. But if you write something people like, you hear nothing, not a peep. The same is true for quality control. You'll never hear from the silent majority of happy campers out there. Definitive numbers are hard to come by. Apple didn't respond to calls and e-mail asking for data or comment. A recent survey by PC World rated Apple and Lenovo laptops as the most reliable. The internet is a famous echo chamber. Post some pictures of a flaming power adapter on Flickr, and soon every blog in the universe has a report. I think Apple's problems are the corollary of falling crime statistics in the 1990s, which had mostly to do with demographics. In Apple's case, it's effectively doubled its market share for portables, and all of a sudden there are double the number of customers complaining about problems. Welcome to the mass market, Apple.

itlog Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 IMHO Ipod's get viruses bcuz they connect them to computers with viruses and download files with viruses. Batteries are on recall not only for Macs but for all other laptops that have the same battery manufacturers, Dell laptops have more of these batteries. MacBooks keep them updated, firmware, OS and all other updates. If you wanna buy one, get the 2nd Gens they now have better specs. Moreover, if you want less problems, keep the MacOS stay away form windows Quote Link to comment

Even Japan's McDonald's MP3 player happy meals had the same problem. Or maybe it's one of teir promo. Upsize your trojan virus to a spyware and get a free burger....

lemon Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I was wondering if somebody every tried upgrading the MacBook's stock 512MB RAM to 1.2MB by replacing one of the factory 256MB sticks with a 1GB module? They say parang di raw maganda i-combine yung 2 RAMs made of different specs kasi di raw magiging optimum yung performance ng MacBook, thus you won't get the full benefit. How true? I might be misinformed on this one.have tried this and i'm confirming what you've heard. i upgraded one of the 256MB modules to a 1Gb. didn't get a marked improvement, it actually felt like it slowed down. then i was told to try using memory of equal sizes on each slot so i exchanged the 1Gb for 2 512Gb modules and replaced the modules with 512Mb on each slot... macbook speed improved, can run and move around faster over more applications than i ever could do.
