See here’s my take on it, if I got that as a gift, if it was sealed I make you dead right take it back and create Merry hell over it, and so the person that gifted it to me would also expect me to, I wouldn’t accept it either.Maybe I was a little melodramatic and it doesn't bother me that much, I am just annoyed that Apple isn't willing to admit that the scratch was the fault of them or a courier
If it was given as a gift to me, used, I wouldn’t even give it a second thought, move on.
What difference does it make if his mum bought it for him, or anyone for that matter?
I’m sure whomever bought it for him would approve of him trying to get this resolved in the same way you would if you bought this new Apple laptop for yourself.
What makes it ok that the product isn’t perfect?
It’s not the actual unit that matters from a grateful or sentimental point of view from his mum, he will love it more if it gets changed for a cosmetically better unit.
1. You probably can go to Apple store and try exchange for a new one.
2. Lesson learned. DO NOT give your child a MacBook Pro for nothing. Have him/her working on minimum wage job for hundreds of hours to earn the MacBook Pro.
Wtf does it matter whether he paid for it or a family member did ???
If it’s flawed we would ALL want it sorted out, deny it if you will.
