Yeah, and USB 3.0 is responsible for the kernel panics on the new MBA
. And do not mention various BIG security holes in Apples iOS, Mac OS X and applications.

Do you have exact numbers of shipped units vs affected units to provide any kind of confirmation that this issue is more widespread that any other normal failure rate for electronics ?
No ?
Then how about not blowing this out of proportion.

I'm not gonna lie. I have many problems with my Mac. Guess I should keep a little bit more distance from the system folder... Lol. The nice thing about being a geek is at the very least, I always can figure out a solution or workaround for my problems. Assuming it isn't hardware related.

That statement is redundant. These people bought the Air because they don't want a MBP.
Somebody needs a nap.
I said all electronics, not just Apple. Now stop blowing my comment out of proportion.
Add with last six months-
Mac Pro Video issues
Mac Pro sound source issues
Add with last year-
iMac yellow screens
iMacs delivered with broken screens
The tortured road Aperture 3 took to get to now when it works pretty good.

I think we need to stop blowing in general! Too much blowing makes you dizzy. Take a few breaths in between.

Well my new 13" MBA just died few days ago. Not sure if the issue is related to the logic board but the machine would not turn on at all - the fan comes on but no display or anything.
Tried all SMC/PRAM etc. I've returned that unit an gotten a new 11". Hopefully one doesn't have any problems.

You said Rev A. of all electronics. Do you have any data to backup such an assertion ? The fact is, Rev A.s only get more publicity, I have yet to see any data that indicates a higher number of affected to shipped units.
Again, blowing things out of proportion. That other guy that bitched about the Rev A comments was right. I bought a Rev A MacBook unibody in 2008, the only problem I had with it was a bearing noise that didn't impact function. Now I have a 13.3" MBA and don't have these issues for now (and probably won't have them ever).
The late 2008 unibody MacBook was a success if I remember correctly. Mine is still kickin', as are most of the users'.
I do agree though, this doesn't look good on Apple's part, especially after screwing up the iPhone 4.
Yep. Electronics nowadays are so complicated and so tiny, that, quite frankly, it's pretty amazing how rare problems are. Also, people who collect a bunch of complaints about a product and wave it in people's faces as proof that the problem is widespread are completely ridiculous. People who are happy with their product have less reason to post.
True enough. Mine was replaced 3x back in the day. And 12" PB 2x, and '08 15" already once. I guess these MBAs are just pre-empting my intention to buy. Kind of lame as I was looking forward to it.
Seriously? Flop? What do you consider a "flop"? The dozen or so reports of this happening? Would 1% overall of the ones sold be a flop? 2%? 10%? Give us a number of what you consider would be a flop as oppose to normal manufacturing mistakes here and there. Or would you consider 100%, zero-defects as being the only marker of a non-flop?
What other flops are you alluding to? Certainly not the iPhone 4...which by the way has sold 14.1 million in just the last fiscal quarter. If that's a "flop"...sign me up! (Though, I suppose if 14.1 million iPhone 4's were also returned, that would be a flop. Is this the case? Were half of those returned? 1/3rd? 1%? Again, how are you defining a "flop"? The WAY overblown, blow-out-of-proportion, FUD spreading "antenna-gate"?
It's interesting that the MBA issue got attention so quickly. The 27" ACD has a major audio issue that affects all of the monitors on USB audio. One person bought 16 of these monitors and ALL have the audio issue. Nothing has been done about this either:

Unbelievable
you can only buy consumer **** from apple without any risk.
it's going down with apple, really really sad.
there was NONE book i've bought without having trouble (2 white macbooks, 3 unibody pro books and 1 mac pro)
only the old mac minis, iphones and ipad is working fine.
for the near future i won't buy any apple "computer"....
btw, the new air book without backlight keyboard is just a bad joke!

All electronics have problems. The proportion of affected units to shipped units is what matters. Failure rates around 5% are normal for electronics, it's why you have a warranty.
When we get numbers of how widespread this issue is, we can start saying there's a "problem". Until then, it's business as usual.
Air book? Pro book? You expect them to throw in a backlight into such a thin package? There was NONE book? Or maybe all your book are belong to us... Your post is full of fail my friend... Full of fail...
We don't even know how widespread this is. What if it was 10 laptops out of 100,000? Is your comment justified?
