If you wanna get a Macbook like me…
…please pause and consider. Especially if you like to bring your Mac into bed with you.
Apparently, I’m not the only one experiencing intermittent wireless connection when running the Macbook (latest version 10.5.2) on battery. Yes, I’m disconnected the moment I pull the power cord!
… How can Apple sell a wireless portable computer that only works with Apples wireless routers? Are we supposed to stay home with our portable computers?
