Brief Hands-On Report--Apple released MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.3 for 15" 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pros
Apple released MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.3 for 15" 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pros. At publication time it was only available via Software Update. [Update: Here's the stand-alone file.]According to Apple,
This EFI Firmware update fixes a display issue on 2.2/2.4GHz 15-inch MacBook Pro models.
Note that this update requires MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 and the newest 15" 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pros with LED backlit screens.
We downloaded and successfully installed the firmware update via Software Update. A shut down and power key press is needed to install it. After installation, the Mac restarted.
Unfortunately, Apple does not say what display issue was fixed and we notice no difference after installation. It does not fix the poor OpenGL performance noted in our review. [Bill Fox]
