Brand new RMBP 13 black dead pixel

[BNHabs]

Received my brand new built to order RMBP 13-inch and noticed it has a black dead pixel in lower left corner.

I don't want to wait for another one and already set-up this one.

Booked a genius appointment tomorrow, will Apple give me an issue with replacing the screen? How is there policy? Its a black dead pixel and machine is brand new.

Don't think they'll replace the whole screen lid because of that.

if its within the return period take it back

It used to be that early LCD panels almost couldn't be made without some dead/hot pixels. Seems much better now but I think Apple's approach will be different depending on:

If you want to return within 14days, no reason required so they will undoubtedly swap it.

Warranty - not so sure, you would need to ask them.

Brand new, just bring it in with your receipt and tell them you want to exchange the laptop.
