    Hi, do anyone knows how to reset the computer if it freezes or gets bsod? Normally, for a non fixed battery laptop, you can just pull it out, but for the macbook air/pro, how to solve the problem?

    Holding down the power button for a few seconds ( I think for macbooks it is 10 seconds) usually works. Not only on Apple computers but all other brands I ever tried it.
