New Apple Macbook Pro...data corruption

[Cleoriff]

Apple is warning users of its latest Macbook Pro about an issue with the laptop that may cause data corruption.

The tech giant released a firmware update on Wednesday to fix a problem on the laptop's flash storage component.

The 15-inch mid 2015 range Retina model is affected, with corruption occurring in "rare cases", the company said.

News of the warning comes as thousands of Macbook owners are campaigning for action over stains appearing on the laptop's retina screen.

A bargain, innit

You'd expect with a price tag like that that there wouldn't be any issues but also why would you pay that

It's a 'must have' innit

More sentimental & precious than spending £1600 on a damn MacBook

Well ..they sold the house to go into an old peoples housing complex in Coventry in 1994. They got £36,000 for it...... (which paid for the new bungalow they moved to....)
