I let the battery on the MacBook Pro run completely dry, and when I plugged the power back in, it resumed to my last saved state. I am highly impressed with this technology, as I never did get a chance to try this on my Powerbook itself. Software suspend is cool<\/em><\/strong>. When is Suspend2<\/a> going to be integrated into the mainline kernel?<\/p>\n

OK, back to the MacBook Pro. The keyboard didn’t become usable until after a period of time (I’d say, about a minute). That seemed rather odd. If time permits, I’ll be sure to try and repeat this – has anyone else noticed this though?<\/p>\n

The machine runs really, really hot. Really. I put it on my lap and I’m wearing a pair of jeans, and even then the bottom is really burning me. This is so, not good for a laptop. And Apple saying not to put laptops on a lap<\/a> just seems rather silly. I haven’t updated the firmware yet, so maybe it’ll miraculously cool after that. I can’t imagine this doing good things to the life of a MacBook Pro, to be honest.<\/p>\n

Also, there’s a distinct whine. Sure you can’t really hear it with a podcast playing in the background but man, oh man, its there. “Whirrr”. Its annoying. You can’t be expected to leave the MBP on 24\/7 and expect to sleep next to it or anything.<\/p>\n

I guess all this is handy now that winter is abound.<\/p>\n
