I'm going along fine and then suddenly I can't access the internet. It claims it's still connected to our network, but the list of computers hooked up to our network doesn't list my laptop when this happens. Same thing was happening on Windows under Boot Camp on the same machine, until my clever fiance finally found some new drivers that worked beautifully. No dropouts under Window, great speed, everything's perfect. Unfortunately the same doesn't go for the 'net under OSX. It's very clearly a driver issue. Somebody has found a fix (essentially rolling back) at: http://tinyurl.com/36tubb I haven't tried it myself yet. I'm holding out for another few weeks in the hope that Apple will fix the problem. Apart from this problem, which thankfully doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, my MBP is absolutely beautiful. A great introduction to Macs for me :) I keep annoying my Windows only fiance by running out and babbling at him about how much I love my Mac whenever I discover something else that "just works". And speaking of babbling... :) No kernal panics or crashing, but having a devil of a job with airport on my new MBP. I’m going along fine and then suddenly I can’t access the internet.
