User “Michael DN” notes on an Apple Forum post: Some users claim the noise occurs at random times with no discernible pattern, but others said it ramps up when their MacBook Pros are occupied with resource-heavy processes and the cooling fans activate.
The battery woes may be have been rectified, but this new emerging issue is something a software update can’t fix.Īccording to Apple’s Community Forums, a growing number of MacBook Pro owners are noticing a strange “popping” sound emanating from their machines. Fortunately for Apple, Consumer Reports revised its rating for the laptops to “recommended” after a software update. Later, inconsistent battery life forced Consumer Reports to not give the new MacBook Pro a “recommended” line. According to fans, this betrays the portable essence of a MacBook Pro. Additionally, to the dismay of long-time Apple aficionados, the new MacBook Pros removed the iconic startup Mac chime sound. The new laptops are touted as the thinnest and lightest MacBook Pros ever made, and, with the addition of significant hardware upgrades like the OLED Touch Bar and Touch ID sensor, they’re certainly the most advanced.Įarlier on, a few of Apple’s design decisions, mainly the removal of the traditional USB ports in favor of Thunderbolt 3, were highly polarizing points of debate and punching bags of users complaining of “dongle hell,” or the necessity of external adapters to use older peripherals.
After mixed reviews and battery issues out of the gate, Apple’s latest versions of the MacBook Pro weren’t the runaway hits fans had hoped for.
