Does anyone got a '11 Macbook Pro and has NO complaints about it?

Me...so far mine is perfect. I did a CTO about a half hour after the online store opened on the day the 11s were released. I ordered a 15" 2.2 with high-res glossy, 750GB hard drive and just upgraded my memory to 8GB. I've used it every day since it arrived. I'm a graphic designer and have had zero problems with it - using CS5 and Microsoft Office. I also hook it into my 24" Cinema Display and have none of the issues I've read about with that connection. I have no overheating issues, no screen issues, nothing. I'm extremely happy with it. I have a 2010 MBP w/27" Cinema Display at work that I use and compared to the 2010, my 2011 is a speed demon - even before I upgraded my RAM. Couldn't be happier, really. Eventually I do want to upgrade to an SSD, but want the prices to drop on the 256 before I will do that.

Hi,

I got a German Standard MBP 13 i5 and it's working perfectly! Wireless Network, External HDMI monitor including digital audio out, Windows shares, printer sharing, Time Machine backup on a Windows shared drive, Office 2011, IMAP emails, great encoding and networking performance, ... I'm really happy!

Best regards,
FL

PS: it's my first mac ... and even cooperating with my windows machines 🙂

I dont have any problem with mine. The only thing i encountered was crashes (grey/black screen) when quitting Starcraft II. I found that the culprit was iStatMenu that enabled some sort of fan speed control. Once this "feature" deactivated (it's on by default ), no more problems...

I have a couple of minor issues with mine - but keep in mind people do not come here unless they are looking for support help. The ones (majority) of users who are satisfied with their purchases are out there using their laptops, not here trying to find solutions.

New MBP 13 with no complaints after a week. Love it!

Hello.

I recently purchased one of these machines.

2011 MBP. 2.3ghz 8gb ram. 500gb 7200rpm.

The only problem I have been experiencing is black screen after quiting a ciderized game.
I went searching and found a couple of threads regarding this issue.

Interesting is a reply in the sc2 forum.

Tony M -
"Thanks for the reports guys. We are working with Apple on this, but it has been many apps that freeze on the new 2011 MBP 15/17 inch. Hopefully a resolution will be available soon. "


Anyways. This is the only problem I am experiencing. I have been able to run massive renders in Cinema4D no problem and have been playing some graphic intensive games in bootcamp with no hitch.

This is a wonderful piece of electronic equipment. Apple should fix these software problems.

Just got my 15" MacBook Pro (see sig) 3 days ago... it's the 5th MacBook in the family. As with all the previous Macs no issues at all... Setup was a breeze (~20 minutes) with Time Machine, it looks great and runs flawlessly.

I was perfectly fine with mine that Ive had for a week until about a couple hours ago when I brought it to work and plugged it into my 24" Samsung monitor here and it started crashing with only a forced reboot to reset it. I have the 13" i5, but apparently its affecting all the new models. Probably just a driver issue with the new graphics cards they switched over to, but still. I may be returning it and sticking to my 2010 MBP.

Me Through a problem (hard drive) with my 13" 2010 MBP that I brough at the end of December, my apple store decided to upgrade me to the stock 2011 13". I've been using it for the past week for school/personal and have experienced none of the issues discussed here in the forums whatsoever. Reloaded all of my applications, movies, music, etc., as well as my VM.

I do plan on upgrading both the RAM and the hard drive as soon as they arrive though. I was a former PC before my Dec 2010 purchase and I have no regrets at all and will never go back - the Mac OS is a joy to work with. Apple has the best customer service out of all the PC vendors that I've worked with over the years.

Well besides having Wireless issues of and on, I dont have any problems Works great

My MBP 15in 2011 has had zero problems. No freezes or hardware issues so far. I usually only use MS Office, surf the internet, watch movies and play games and have had no troubles so far. Battery life is great.

Hi,

Overall I am pretty happy with mine too, but for one worry: memory usage. Since you and some others on this thread have a MPB with i7 processor, I would be very interested if you looked at the memory footprint of kernel_task, using Activity Monitor. On my MPB, this is about 4 times as much as on 2 machines with Core 2 Duo processors and I am not sure if this is a normal consequence of the i7 or a problem with my machine. Please see my post "kernel_task consumes a lot of RAM in early 2011 MBP, sometimes Finder too" at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13229884&#13229884

If you want, you can just email me how much memory kernel_task uses on your machine at <chabot.denis@gmail.com>.

Thanks, Denis

No complaints here either.

I've got a one week old 17" 2.2 Ghz, 500GB 7200 RPM, 8GB and am super happy with it. Much faster than the three year old model it replaced.
