Hey Guys,
I've had my brand new mbp c2d for quite some while now ('high end' 15" model with 160 gb hd) and I've been very happy with it from the start.
I've noticed some small problems, however.
To start with; the right 'hook' of the maglatch mechanism does not fully retreat into the bezel of the screen when I open it. Though the functionality of the lock is not compromised in any way, I find it to be annoying and a possible weakness (it might break off...)
The other issue is a bit worse. I use my MB for audio and video editing and therefore I need the audio to be absolutely representative of the end result. The audio issue is as follows; during audio playback using the headphone plug with either speakers and headphones, the audio coming from the left channel is slightly distorted (it sounds like a filter has been put over it). This is especially noticable when using a high quality set of headphones (such as my sony mdr-v900's). The distortion seems to reduce at higher volumes.
As one might expect I've already contacted apple about this and they thought the logic board might have to be replaced. I think i'm gonna send it in since I've ordered up applecare along with my MB.
I'm just curious.. Has anybody else here experienced any of the above issues, and than especially the audio one? If so, is this problem software or hardware related?
Cheers,
JW
