Whereas my Honda Accord has never left me stranded… …my Apple MacBook has only taken 2 months to decide that it doesn’t like the number “4” and now turning on. It has left my house all of 1 time. Now I know why people said don’t buy an Apple. At least I can go to the pretentiously named “genius bar” to get it fixed. What a treat! ---

There I fixed it for you! It’s sitting at the Apple store awaiting a new top cover because of the “4” button, however I have to “restore” the computer myself. Thanks, Genius. ---

I had trouble with my MacBook randomly shutting down too. I took it into the store and talked with a genius who immediately knew how to replicate it and shipped it off for repair for me that day. While it was being fixed they also noticed that there was slight discoloration on the plastic cover around the keyboard, so they replaced that as well. I didn’t pay a dime and had my laptop back to me as good as new within a weeks time. Any computer can have problems, but what I have loved so much about Apple is the way they handle me as a customer. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > well they should considering they overcharged u for that laptop to begin with > > apple=overpriced just like sony 🙂 My laptop was 1099 before tax. That’s not much for a computer that I have running Mac and Windows at the same time (thereby making it twice as effective as a regular PC, since I do run a lot of programs that are either mac or windows only), handles CS and all graphic intesive programs better than my previous laptop (which I bought less than three years ago, and which cost a lot more than 1099), and that has such superior support. Oh, and I got almost a 50% discount on a 30GB video iPod when I bought it at the same time. Oh, and I got an education discount on both the remainder of the cost of the iPod, and on the computer itself, so it was even cheaper. All in all, if 1099+tax is overcharged, then I’ll remain the fool.
