Do you prefer a replacement model or Apple Store to fix a small issue?

I just received my MacBook Air and one of the keys does not register completely. I would imagine that it would be a simple fix at the Apple Store but I did but it from Amazon and I am within the return window.

For most members here, do you prefer having a brand new unit replaced or would you just go to the Apple Store and have them fix a component if you are within the return window?

I would get it replaced if you dont need it at the minute.

But if you are in a deep need like I am, replacing would not be worth it.
Going to Apple store and doing all paper work, then transfer your files back to your new machine?

Not worth it

I'd go for quick fix @ Apple store if possible, assuming everything else is fine.

Well I went to go fix the key and they just gave me a brand new replacement model. I watched the Apple Genius open the brand new box and just hand me the new MacBook Air.

I think they didn't want to go through the trouble of repairing it. It didn't matter that I purchased the MacBook from Amazon. I ended up getting a Samsung SDD and an LG display.

<= 14 days of ownership its your call (get it replaced)
> 14 days its apple's call and they will repair before they replace
