I'm seriously unimpressed with 10.9 in general.
I bought a new MBP a few weeks back, and the hardware is awesome... the retina screen, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD make it a joy to use.
But...
* I enabled Bluetooth, plugged in my Magic Mouse, and the next time it woke from sleep wireless connectivity had disappeared and has only come back sporadically since
* the machine occasionally 'loses' USB drives, complaining that I didn't eject them properly when they're still connected
* plugging in my Nexus phone via USB, or an HDMI cable, sometimes causes the keyboard to freeze, needing a hard reboot.
Rebooting twice within an hour isn't welcome when you're giving a lecture and have already met the student who loudly proclaims that Apple hardware is overpriced crap.
I do wonder whether Apple actually test new releases of their OS, or just leave it to us to do it for them.
And don't get me started about the usefulness of the "Genuis" Bar at my local Apple store...
I am wondering whether a downgrade to Mountain Lion may fix a few problems.
- cr3ative 12y agoThis honestly sounds like hardware failure. Bluetooth is very stable for me with a Magic Mouse. Your USB and HDMI issues seem related. I'd wager a power issue. Make the problem reproducible and they'll swap it over at the Genius Bar, who are extremely helpful if you're polite to them.
- privong 12y ago> the machine occasionally 'loses' USB drives, complaining that I didn't eject them properly when they're still connected FWIW, I've had that issue several times and it's always turned out to be a hard drive which is on the verge of failing.
