You know who we're talking about: Montel Williams bases whole episodes around you, the kind of person who reuses tea bags and separates sheets of triple-ply paper towels. Unfortunately, it now looks like you now have one less trick at your disposal. According to Zach Honig over at Gearlog, running your MacBook or MacBookPro without its battery (trying to squeeze out an extra month or two of battery life) will cause a significant performance decrease: we're talking upwards of 40 percent. When he checked Apple's knowledgebase, it turns out that this is by design -- processor speed is reduced when the machine detects that its relying solely on A/C to prevent it from demanding more power than the adapter alone can provide (and any nasty shutdowns that would result). We don't know if we buy this line of reasoning, but one thing is certain: if you know what's good for you, you'll leave that battery where it belongs.</p> http://www.maconair.com/battery-is-removed#comments hardware Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:23:00 -0600 admin 527 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/hdcp-flags-on-new-macbook <p><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/11/11-18-08-ituneshdcp-large54.jpg"><br /> Man, you just can't win these days. So Apple offers up an energy-efficient, forward-thinking Mini DisplayPort on its latest MacBook / MacBook Pro, and now users that are still rocking displays sans HDCP-compliant HDMI / DVI ports are up fecal's creek without a paddle. Apparently select content in the iTunes Store is laced in HDCP, which isn't all that unexpected in and of itself; the problem comes in when you realize that the new unibody machines don't offer a VGA / VGA-to-component output, meaning that you have to connect it to an HDCP-compliant display if you want to see anything. We know, one word in particular keeps coming to mind to describe this fiasco: <em>awesome</em>. </p> http://www.maconair.com/hdcp-flags-on-new-macbook#comments hardware Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:18:00 -0600 admin 468 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/intel_reveals_origins_of_the_airs_super_small_chip http://www.maconair.com/intel_reveals_origins_of_the_airs_super_small_chip#comments hardware macbook air Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:01:17 -0500 admin 111 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/samsung_intros_256gb_ssd_that_may_reach_macbook_air http://www.maconair.com/samsung_intros_256gb_ssd_that_may_reach_macbook_air#comments hardware macbook air perspective rumors Wed, 28 May 2008 01:12:26 -0500 admin 110 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/mba_users_still_facing_with_overheating http://www.maconair.com/mba_users_still_facing_with_overheating#comments hardware macbook air Mon, 05 May 2008 01:44:42 -0500 admin 107 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/macbook_air_spurring_led http://www.maconair.com/macbook_air_spurring_led#comments hardware macbook air perspective Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:39:39 -0500 admin 104 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/macbook_air_usb_hacks http://www.maconair.com/macbook_air_usb_hacks#comments hack hardware macbook air Mon, 24 Mar 2008 06:23:13 -0500 admin 100 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/macbook_vs_sony_vaio http://www.maconair.com/macbook_vs_sony_vaio#comments compare comparison competitors hardware macbook air market test Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:51:53 -0600 admin 99 at http://www.maconair.com http://www.maconair.com/macbook_air_vs_lenovo_x300 http://www.maconair.com/macbook_air_vs_lenovo_x300#comments compare comparison competitors hardware macbook air market software test Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:10:02 -0600 admin 81 at http://www.maconair.com
