For Bryan, all your complaints and "policing" of this thread make me ask, what have you contributed to it?![]()
sorry for the bad quality, the dings are actually kind of hard to see in the pictures
but hey I can't help how poorly the iphone camera performs (especially in low light)
to be honest, I really hadn't even considered getting it replaced because it still functions fine, however, someone told me I just voided my warranty?
I didn't buy applecare yet because I had a year to do so supposedly
The only thing I was previously concerned about was resell value since I may sell this thing in year or two...I kind of figured I could throw that out the window.
with what someone told me above, now I am concerned about the 1 year warranty, cosmetics aren't a big deal to me but if hardware goes bad I want it replaced...I don't have an apple store anywhere near and I ordered it online so it isn't as easy as just driving to the store real fast.
You might be able to get the computer swapped out if the battery cover is messed up like the others.made a costly mistake today, set my macbook on the dresser on some clothes and walked away a sec (it was in sleep mode), next thing I know the dog comes by grabs the clothes and runs, this consequently brings the laptop tumbling down to the floor
my heart sank because I knew I just saw $1600 go up in smoke, kind of a small scale of what is happening to people's 401ks
I walk over and see that my glasses (which were sitting on top of the macbook) were broken on the floor right next to the macbook (they weren't cheap either). I slowly pic up the macbook to inspect it and notice 3 huge dents on the top, apparently it fell on the lenses of my glasses, which happened to break
So I open it up thinking oh well nothing I can do about it now, and the thing lights up...
I'm pretty happy it still boots and works, not too happy about the cosmetic damage after having it only 2 days, but oh well, it's just a tool.
Also, it jarred the battery cover so now it is loose like the problem many people are reporting (I hadn't even opened yet).
Moral of the story, be careful with your macbook!
I did the same thing.
Returned it saying I got it like that.
No problem, genius replaced it.
If you're within 14 days, return for exchange!
Way to be honest.
If you're battery cover is off or one of the keys are off, you can get it replaced.
