A MacBook Air with SSD would have cost about the same as a 17" MBP when introduced, I think. So all those saying "what great customer service"... it's an exchange for the same (roughly) value of product. Good customer service, yes, but not much better than had they simply exchanged it for another Air.
Not to knock your service - it's very good that Apple will do what it takes to make their customers happy, even when that means offering them a different product. Seems like an odd offer for an Air, but the 17" Pro is a brilliant machine, and it sounds like you're enjoying it, so that's great.![]()
The point of Apple was, that the MBA could be possible to light for my needs. They never truly acknowledged the problem in the REV.A towards me but put the issue in the middle in the sense that the MBA might be to light for my deeds and to prevent I get issues again with the 5th MBA he offered me the 17" CTO.
My opinion is that the MBA REV A is simply a design failure in more then one way. I wouldn't want to argue anymore and said yes
I paid more for the MBA REV A SSD then the CTO 17" is sold for now indeed.
