Broken Key - New macbook

[duffyanneal]

FAIL!

Just like your economy.

I love living in Europe, far far away from you impressionblle Americans.

Ahh...


PS, I bet you voted for George Bush

You would loose that bet. That's OK you'll need the money anyways. The last time I checked the 700 billion dollar bailout that I and other Americans have to contribute to will also be used to bail out European banks. Greed is pandemic even in Eutopia..err Europe. Laugh though while you can. When the largest consumer of goods and services in the world stops spending money everyone hurts.

eeeeeww. Would never vote for Bush. period.

If $1200 or $1500 is spent on a computer, and something is wrong with it- you should be able to get one that is as perfect as they advertise it.
If apple has machines in the back room that don't have that problem...that means it isn't normal, and you should get it replaced.

(but that is just my opinion. What do I know..I'm just an American.)

Bringing politics into a discussion about a broken 4 key is a quick way to get this thread thrown to the wasteland, it happened earlier today (bringing politics into a discussion about computers then sent to the wasteland) and why would you want to do that to the OP, just cut it out and help the guy/girl with their situation, there's a politics section if you feel like debating that inane stuff

I second replacement. Not only will Apple gladly do it, but they want the OP to have a good experience and so it is to their benefit as well.

I also---whether rationally or not--tend to feel that once you open up a machine to repair it you're inviting more troubles. Actually, that's not entirely irrational given some of my experiences with flextronics, one of apple's contractors for mail-in repairs.

Bottom-line for your money you deserve a good out of the box experience, and I would bet you that Apple wants you to have one as well.

I have generally had good experiences with mail in repairs... however, I once had a macbook sent in 3 times because they caused more problems each time...

And people wonder why Americans are so resented for their throwaway culture.

They wouldn't throw it away lol... That'd most likely be sent back, repaired, and then sold as a refurbished model. Where's the "throwaway" in that? If you bought an iPhone, and the home button wasn't functioning properly within the first minutes of you opening the packaging, wouldn't you expect them to take it back and give you a new replacement? It's a manufacturer's defect, and it's their problem to fix it. Sure, they're going to lose out by having to refurb it, but when you bought the product, you're entitled to something that's in "new" and 100% original condition.

I mean, I don't like several things about the U.S., but I'm certainly not going to go out there and assume things about where you're descendant from. Think before you speak.

It's helping our banks, because your banks took out so many loans from our banks...

For those complaining (as usual) about America, stop buying Apple products. That being said, that also means there's no point in your being on this forum.

I love the irony of some moron posting negative crap about America while typing it out on an American product. Bunch of hypocrites...

That's why I'm happy just staying in my crappy own little country I call home.

Why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, "An American Product"?

Steve may be American, but Apple has a EMEA HQ in Cork (That's in Europe) and Ive is from the UK...


Many if not all Macs are made in Asia...


And this is an American Product?

So with your logic then Apple could go out of business in California tomorrow and all would continue on?

Think again. Regardless who manufactures them, it's still an American product. Ive left the UK to come here to work for Apple, so obviously he doesn't share your opinion of us. I'm happy to have him. You on the other hand, not so much.
