[QUOTE="ScottyD, post: 200650"] I don't buy the whole "don't buy Rev A" thing. If you look at Apple's track record with the PowerBooks, you'll see that they've had their share of issues as well -- ie the PowerBook LCD monitor stripes. This was the last rev of the PowerBook. So don't believe the "don't buy Rev A" hype. Furthermore, according to several posts I've seen on several message boards, Apple states the processor "hiss" as within their noise specs. It doesn't even sound like a whine to me, maybe a chirp if that. It's so low that I have to put my ear up to the MacBook Pro. I don't have the LCD power inverter whine, so as far as I'm concerned the whole whine issue is more about whiners that have nothing better to ***** about. If you need a portable machine and you need it now... go for the MBP. It's well worth the money. Peace, Scotty D [/QUOTE]
