That said, it does look like Apple is doing a stand up job supporting their hardware, and a crappy batch of chips that run hot and heavy is not so surprising.
So much of the PC market is a commodity and throw away if it acts up. I am tossing out a great printer because the crappy plastic gears are not replaceable. I really hate the disposable nature of personal computer hardware these days.
Nope, did not ping any haters. They find their own way to Apple threads. Do you think you are one? I should hope not.
That's one of the reasons we like Apple hardware. . . very little of it is disposable.
