As nifty as the new 17″ unibody MacBook Pro happens to be, a combined Apple/NVIDIA firmware update may be necessary. According to Engadget, a number of users on the Apple Discussions board have cited serious issues with the GeForce 9600M graphics card installed in the notebook. A GeForce 9400M card is also found in the notebook as well, but complaints cite that the random green lines and nasty artifacts appear only when the more potent card is kicked into action.
Most folks have stated that a reboot solves the problem momentarily, but eventually the issue returns to haunt them.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available and please let us know if you’ve seen this problem on your end in the comments or forums.
