Macbook Black 13" replacement; needs replacing!!
Follow-up to Macbook Black 13" – Fan fixed, CPU idle whine worse from Gibo's Reviews
So the build quality on the Apple Macbook isn’t up to much.
My second Macbook, replacing one that had CPU whine noise and a wobbly fan, has a louder CPU noise. To make matters worse, the hard drive makes a loud click noise every 10 seconds.
A hard drive with hiccups
This is really, really annoying. I can’t deal with the laptop literally having hiccups. The noise is apparently the parking of the drive’s head, however this was the exact same noise that came from my other previous 2.5” hard drives days before they died.
Mac are being compliant, and are replacing this one too. And throwing in a free Firewire cable to copy my data over. Apparently when you replace something twice the matter gets escalated to their engineering team for investigation, so this should be where the buck stops.
