There's a lot of buzz around the new 12-inch MacBook, but its low-power Intel Core M processor, lack of ports and low-res webcam mean it likely won't be the workhorse that other Macs are.

The classic non-Retina-Display MacBook Pro is surprisingly still hanging on as the last MacBook with an optical drive, but it has little else to recommend it.

The current Air models are held back by aging designs and low screen resolutions, and the 15-inch MacBook Pro has not received the same updates or new trackpad, and is simply too big to lug around more than once or twice a week (although it's great for a desk-bound system). If they get similar reports it may help them in identifying and rectifying the problem).It's perhaps because this model has best kept up with the changing laptop landscape. (they classified my case as a unique and isolated case. Call up Apple and inform them so they'll know this is a thing. My suggestion is for you to go on SafeBoot to see if your screen also ***** up. Just disappointed and frustrated all mixed together. I scheduled another call with Apple Support. Guess what? the replacement (this one i'm using to type this message) has the EXACT same problems: a loud fan, graphics card problems, AND the volume is really low on this unit- at halfway past the volume rocker range, I can barely hear anything! (notifications, movies, music, videos on YouTube, etc). I got transferred to Technical Assistance and from there, I worked with other specialist and spent 2 entire days troubleshooting before it was decided I will have to have a replacement. the graphics were distorted, like horizontal blinds moving up in waves over and over before it settled down into SafeBoot. Then it happened- the screen started 'misbehaving'. As a final check, the specialist told me to reboot the computer on SafeBoot to make sure it was all running ok.

I gave Apple a call and they ran through some troubleshooting (SMC reset, PRAM or something) and eventually, the fan did quieten down. I could hear the fan whirring and the exhaust pumping air out like I'm running a lot of applications at a go, when in fact I had only launched Settings. On the first MBP i received (I say first, because I eventually had to return in and have a replacement sent to me) the fan is unusually loud.
