The issues I've had with this machine in a year:
Top case cracked twice
Bottom case cracked twice
Monitor backlight disconnected
HDD died, lost all my information
I just got off the phone with Apple, was hoping they'd replace the machine considering how much BS I've had with it, but since I am (A MONTH) out of warranty because I didn't pay the $300 to extend the warranty from one year to three years all they will do is replace the part. I am pretty furious.
Thats total carp. I had No idea it was that bad. email/complain forever, I would if I bought it new.
Though my friend has a brand new macbook, he says their optical drives can munch/total disks to make them unreadable.
// did it to one cd rom already.
Also iPhones are cracking.
my opinion of apple has shifted allot since reading your post.
still i think you have a case because those repair might be warrentied, as they have FAILED, thus the repair weren't really repairs.
Signature was too large. Read the rules.
