So, I bought my first Mac in september 2011. Since then I've had numerous problems. From multiple crashes to freezes and OS restarts, I have to say that out of all my Apple devices, this is the one I am pleased the least.
My major problem is the SPINNING BEACH BALL OF DEATH. I get this shiat every time I open an app... and it takes me up to 20-30 second to open one...
For example, even opening Safari causes the beach ball to spin for around 20 to 40 seconds. The same happens with iTunes....iPhoto is the worst. I sometimes have to wait over 1min just to open iPhoto. Scrolling in iPhoto is a pain...Lags like hell...
Most probably, my HDD is the problem. Notice that I have a stock 5400rpm 320 gb HDD. I paid around 2000$ for the base MacBook Pro 13 inch. And NO, we do not have APPLE store in our country so sending it to an Apple store is virtually impossible.
BTW I bought it from an Apple retail seller (the equivalent of BestBuy in the US)
