Macbook Replacement, Return??

[Jeremy08]

Well , I don't think you " worked over the system" , Apple will have understood that you have a new machine & your entitled as a consumer to replace or refund if not happy , no screw over at all in my eyes .

Yeah didn't really feel that way either, I guess I would say that ethically, because they did replace my first machine, which i purchased over two months ago, with a brand-new one, i probably didn't have the right to the at that point get a full refund...even though i was able to do that..I am just saying as far as what their policy would be, if somebody put all the information together chronologically, and looked at it, i doubt they would have been willing to give me gift card with the full value that i payed originally for the machine. BTW I purchased the 399 ipod touch back in july as well when i purchased the macbook. I also returned that for a $427 giftcard (after taxes), about a week after i bought it, then immediately put it towards me and my girlfriend's white iphones. Gotta love Apple i guess.

People will justify anything nowadays. Karma always comes back to haunt ya though.

I think the OP's Karma should be ok on this one but maybe I skim read

I got a MacBook swap at the International Plaza store yesterday. They explicitly told me that it wasn't eligible for a store credit or a return.

Under your warranty, Apple leaves itself the option to repair, replace, or refund your MacBook. They will always go in that order, as well, unless the computer is say less than a month old and you push them. Apple has guidelines they are supposed to follow regarding which "R" to choose; but nothing is set in stone at Apple either. They go on a case by case basis. Which leads to this point, with Apple, it does make a difference how much of a fuss you make in what you get, which may not be good, but it is what it is.

Thats what im saying man, i can totally survive if i have to until the update...I now have the option, if, god forbid, the new macbooks don't come out on the 14th i can always go back and pick up another black macbook...or better yet, maybe spend a little more and get a MBP...I guess we shall wait and see. Although, i would say that i would be awfully surprised that with the speculation going around, not only on this site, as well as other discussion forums as well as tech news article sites, the day passes by without some sort of announcement from Apple. Then again, i have been wrong before...let just keep the new rumors coming...ehhh??

If at the 14th, you were told the rumors changed and the new date was one week from then would you wait? And what if then you were told it would be an additional week?

No, i am only giving this rumor one chance. If on or before the 14th of October, the new MacBooks are not released, or official word has not come from apple on the release date, I will be forced to repurchase a Mac computer. Although I may decide to move away from MacBook and towards possibly an Air or MBP. Only time will tell my friend.
On another note, why are you such a pessimist?
