Most likely an overheating i7....
Good thing that processors will shut the computer down before they get too hot and overheat

Absolutely, those i7's are burning balls to ashes, that's what everyone here is saying.

Absolutely! And now we have proof! Quick, get the i5!
So they tell me they just want to exchange it. Unfortunately this was a BTO so I have to order again
This is the nightmare scenario with Apple Store orders. *shivers*
Bad luck with this one. Eventually you'll understand why your friends convinced you.

PROOF that I was right!!!
In general Apple customer service is pretty good in that they replace "new" defective units rather than repair them, and are pretty quick when they do actually repair them. If they had your model in stock, chanced are you would have come home with your exchange. They usually don't give "freebies" like what you have described, but I have occasionally had out-of-warranty repairs completed at no charge.

So I guess the time that my mother's base 2006 MacBook gave out after 6 months and had to be repaired is "proof" that you should never buy a base model from the store either?
lol! no doubt. What the **** folks.
I already heard that an i7 in the new MBA burned this ladies lap so bad that she had third degree burns.
I already sent my i7 back and i5 is on the way. I will be much happier... I think.

I'd imagine i7 being more popular in colder countries... helps keep people warm
I know where my Macbook is going to be this winter.

i wouldn't let a freak accident change my order. That is like people who don't own iPhones b.c a few people had them blow up
Sorry dude
.They don't really throw in anything, but I haven't heard of such a practice with other oems either. You could probably inquire about next day shipping. My experience with them has been hit and miss. Years ago some of the others were a pain in the ass, and at least with Apple you could take it into the store. Even then they're not always helpful if you're out of warranty. Keep in mind this was a very long time ago.... 2004 ish~ but I was having powerbook G4 problems. It was out of warranty. They looked at it. They didn't offer actual diagnostics. They just said if we take it in, it'll be $300. I think that was equivalent to depot repair. I turned it down as it was one of the first generation G4 powerbooks and replaced it with a G5 tower (and just lived without a laptop for several years
).
Glad I went for the i5...
There I fixed it for you.
You realize the i7 comments are being sarcastic, right?
