DailyTech reports that Apple is addressing a number of the issues initially reported on MacInTouch and MacFixIt. with a new revision of the systems, dubbed “revision D.”

The report states:

“Apple said that revision D MacBook Pros have many issues addressed and improvements made, including fixes to the above mentioned issues. We were also able to get a hold of a MacBook Pro that just arrived during the week with a serial number starting with W8611 (recently SN W8612 can be found), which did not exhibit any of the above issues. Many users are also reporting that their MacBook Pros become extremely hot to handle, especially in the area above the F keys and underneath the notebook itself. In fact, my MacBook Pro gets so hot that placing it in your hands is almost unbearable, and leaving it on a bare lap is next to impossible. According to Apple, the MacBook Pro should never become hot to the point of being uncomfortable.”

If you have an earlier serial number that is exhibiting noise, AirPort connections problems or screen problems take it to your local Apple Store or call Apple. Apple is making good on this.

Now I am thinking of getting one.
