For the price, I would get a rMBP. Plus, you'll have the glass over the screen, eliminating the "magic mirror screen" problem you're having.

But the rmbp is not as fast as 2013 air since they use PCIe SSD.
And also the graphic card is a lot better.
need it for PH sometimes
 
jeffery0103, you're not willing to go with a base model and maybe pick it up at a local retailer like BB? Maybe you'll have better luck.

Just a suggestion.
 
In the other thread you have a clear HD picture, and here you provide us this grainy example? :rolleyes:

This is the best i can do, coz its a dark screen and i take it by my iPhone

No man. I brought it from apple retail store.
 
I only have the recent one so i can only show you the light leaks on the current machine

Bottom left? I honestly don't see any light leak, but the pic is so grainy, it's really hard to tell.

Edit: okay, I see what you mean with the second picture. But I'm not sure if that's a light leak. The LEDs are around the edges of the screen, so it's naturally going to be brighter there.

Yet you had a camera that took a high res photo of a missing omg wtf bbq corner?

I don't see the light leak. Where are the LEDs on the panel?
 
Ohh, you're the crazy guy who was complaining about a minute missing corner!

/done

you won't say that if you own that machine.

But it seems the left side has more white than the other bit of the screen

and take one more only for aluminium body of your mac and see

Sounds like you might want to look at returning that iPhone. The photo sensor must not be functioning correctly.

really? try it on yours.
Mine one works perfectly.
Maybe your eyes have some problems. Go to the doc have it check
I start to worry about you man
I bet you are from apple since you come against me from start of this post!
How much did they pay you for helping them with bad QC?

So are you going to accuse EVERYONE who disagrees with you of secretly working for Apple?

Well, if they're launching such a huge conspiracy against you, then maybe that's a sign you need to just spend your money elsewhere.

Besides, all the signs point to the fact that you will not be satisfied. QC has gone downhill as you say. After 5 exchanges, you still have flaws. Why reward them with your cash?
 
I don't know why everyone's so anal in here.

He's spending 1k+ of his own money, of course he would expect it to be near perfect.

If I was spending 1k+ on a product, I'd want my product to be in near perfect condition too.

There's a reason why people pay more for "premium" products.

no. I admit i m a really picky person.
But i dont expect this to happen to my new air since i pay so much for it.
Also i bought my air 2012 never exchange it. still running perfectly and flawless
 
That light bleeding is pretty bad.

I have a theory: No matter what product, the factory is always hurrying to get the first batch out. No matter what they make, the people in the executive office always want it yesterday. So hurry = skip QC.

Take a break, wait until end of august, Hey they probly have refurbs then if u into that sort of thing.

I'm picky too. If it was me, I would skip the first month or so. I disagree that QA used to be better. Show me one older Apple display without that stupid purple edge problem, then maybe I'll believe it. Also I totally understand about backlight bleed. The design is just going to have some, but it's much less irritating if it's even. I don't know about the 2012s, but the 2011 mbp would get uneven dark portions around the bottom due to the location of certain vents.
 
Why are you giving Apple so much grief. Don't you understand Apple are doing you a favour by selling you this stuff.
Some people just don't appreciate what Apple are doing for them.
 
What is this mirror twist thing you are referring to with the screen?

I heard that 2013 is more reflective than other MBA's, but I'd like some clarification.

Loving my 2011 and threads like these make me glad I'm not in the market for a new laptop any time soon (with Samsung LCD and SSD).

I honestly believe OP, Apple quality is THAT bad. I've experienced it many a time across the board.

I think the OP's main problem is OCD coupled with bad Apple QC. But I think Apple QC is so bad lots of non-OCD people might find issues these days.

It looks bad because he had to turn out the lights and turn the screen brightness all the way down to reveal the horrible soul killing light leak that would never be detectable by a human in 1000 years of normal use.
What a joke.Apple needs to refund your money and say goodbye.
 
This is a user issue, not a laptop issue.

Ditto.

The only positive from the OP's compulsion is the additional refurbs he's contributing.

Give the guys at the Apple store a break. I'm sure they cringe every time they see you enter.

is that my fault to have bad Qc stuffs from apple?
you never exchange anything coz of screen or cosmetic problems?
I saw tons of posts about having lg panels and they exchange for few times because they want a samsung screen!!
