Brief Hands-On Report--Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro Firmware Update 1.0

2004–09February 25, 2008Bill FoxReviews
Last Tuesday, Apple released a firmware update for the Mac Book and MacBook Pro. It is available via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. Last week, I didn't see much on Mac Web sites about it. According to Apple,

This MacBook and MacBook Pro firmware update addresses an issue where the first key press may be ignored if the computer has been sitting idle. It also addresses some other issues.

I have not experienced this problem with my 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro (3G with LED backlit screen) but I installed the firmware update anyway without a problem. In a week's use, no problems have occurred. [Bill Fox]
