Video: MacBook Air si MacBook Pro au probleme hardware, pot fi inchise cu ajutorul unui magnet

Cei de la SlashGear au facut un video test in care demonstreaza cum poate fi inchis ecranul unui MacBook Air sau un MacBook Pro folosind un simplu magnet de figider. Daca plimbati acel magnet pe langa mufa audio a MacBook-ului vostru ecranul se va inchide instant si impreuna cu el se va inchide si conexiunea Wi-Fi. Pentru a il reporni trebuie sa folositi tastatura si totul revine la normal fara nici o resetare fara nimic. Interesant este ca husa SmartCover are exact aceleasi efect asupra tabletei iPad 2 cand ecranul este acoperit insa acolo se vorbeste(fara cunostinte concrete) despre o functionalitate implementata printr-un senzor de proximitate.

The “issue” arises when you’ve got a magnet, here we’ve got a tiny refrigerator magnet for example, and you pass it along the left side of the base of whichever machine you’re working with. The actual spot this oddity comes up is right near the headphone jack on both computers. What happens is the monitor goes blank and your Wifi shorts out. What we can equate this to is the machine falling asleep – this holds true when you see the backlit key lights dim when the magnet passes over the area on the MacBook Pro near the headphone jack again.

Daca aveti un MacBook Air/Pro de generatie noua puteti testa si voi lucrul acesta. Practic vorbim despre o functionalitate similara cu cea a inchiderii capacului MacBook-lui, adica introducerea in sleep mode.

Therefore we can conclude that the technology Apple uses to turn your display off and on is run by magnets, and that the new iPad Smart Cover is and will be using the same or similar technology to turn off and on the iPad as it moves across its surface. Have a peek at the video above to see us working with the MacBooks and magnets, and below at the iPad Smart Cover video to see some cuteness!
