Bought a new 12" PB Sunday. Superdrive/80gb standard.
Sold my 12" PB Combo/60gb hd for same amount of money the new one cost, so felt pretty good.
Then I turned it on and DANG the new one has a Fujitsu hard drive that sounds like my stomach is upset. I really didn't expect the noise.
Older PB (purchased in Dec) had a silent Toshiba 60gb 16mbcache 5400 Gax drive. And let me tell you, not only the noise factor -- but the combo PB was faster than this sucker because the Fujitsu only has an 8mb cache. Dang!
Just wanted to complain. Will have Apple Tech take the drive out for swap next week. Wish Apple would stick to Toshibas or Hitachis or Seagates and leave the Fujitsus behind.
And perfectly happy not making Intel switch until a few revisions down the line.
