Maybe Apple fixes the MacBook Air video issues

August 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Geek

You can only hope. Right now, you can’t even playback a YouTube video without the processor overheating and making it obsolete.

Apple Releases MacBook Air Software Update to Address Video Playback – Mac Rumors

This update is recommended for all MacBook Air computers, and addresses issues with video playback and processor core idling.
Third-party software that modifies processor operating characteristics such as frequency and voltage is not supported and should be removed before installing this update.

Hey this seems to really work. Instead one processor shutting down and becoming unusable, it looks like things slow down. For instance using Skype, before, I would get 320×480 video but one processor would stop and things slow. Now I get vmuch slower 160×120 video at 4 fps but it keeps running. Thanks Apple!
