Apple, Inc., maker of MacBook brand laptop computers, promises consumers that its laptops are suitable for use as portable computing devices. However, according to our research, contrary to these promises, certain laptops manufactured by Apple and sold in early 2011 use more power than the included plug can provide. Specifically, MacBook Pro laptops sold during or after February of 2011 include processors that use more power than previous MacBook Pro laptops. However, the power cord supplied by Apple draws only 85 watts of power from electrical sockets. This is not sufficient to power the new, more powerful processors included in MacBook Pros.
As a result, even when these laptops are plugged in, the battery drains, rendering the laptops unsuitable for use as portable computing devices. This problem is especially noticeable when users are performing processor-intensive activity, such as gaming, watching movies, streaming other media, or surfing the web. Although Apple is allegedly aware of this problem, it has continued to sell these laptops.
