Mac user since 2004- G4, MacBook, MacBook Pro. No Apple toys, none to come.
I’m hard on them- cigarette ashes, mass quantities of dog hair, the occasional drowning or falling over. Or crumbs. My issues have been user error, mostly. After the warranty/ AppleCare runs out, find a private shop- but under warranty, support is fantastic. My MacBook (finally) went into repair yesterday, so I will report to the Apple list how that worked out. $150 to replace the screen.
They are ultra simple to use, practically self repairing if you stumble across a bad site, super fast- worth their weight in gold for the frustration you save over “the evil ones”. You do get what you pay for with them, imho.
That said, this is the last for me. The MB Pro is not my favorite & i think the focus on toys is going to hurt the computers (+ losing Steve Jobs).
Oh duh. This *is* the Apple list.
