Apple Suggests You Do Not Stack MacBook Pro's

More

First of all, this is not a joke, but a real piece of information from one of Apple's Support Documents! The new MacBook Pro unibody laptops have built in magnets which sense if the MacBook's screen has been closed, in which case it will automatically go to sleep. If users stack one MacBook on top of another, the magnet from the one notebook can influence the other in a way that it thinks the screen is closed whilst it may actually be open. The bug may cause the top MacBook to randomly go into Sleep Mode, or may not let it turn on. All unibody MacBooks have this 'problem', so the 13" MacBook and all 13-17" MacBook Pro's. Now if this was the only problem with the MacBooks, I think we would all be using them already!
