returning 2012 MBA

I am not sure what is so rude about my original post, unless you're overtly sensitive and can't handle being questioned.

Agreed ....saying something is not working right is a reason to return it and not correct it .......is false logic.

"I don't like it or need it" works, but not "it's crashing"

Next time I'll add pretty please with sugar on top or something.

As a teacher myself I can fully understand your wariness of faulty equipment. Preparing a lesson that is suddenly rendered redundant because the laptop powering the projector malfunctions is a needlessly stressful situation. And quite why being able to teach should somehow involve a detailed knowledge of Apple's returns and refunds policies is beyond me - perhaps they do things differently in America. The point of a forum is that it's a community of generously-spirited people willing to be helpful and answer questions such as these. Sadly, however, they're also home to people sniffing round for any opportunity to look smart at other people's expense. Mistrust anyone who invokes 'common sense' to back up their particular perspective: Einstein called it all of those petty prejudices you inherit from your parents and fail to shake off by the time you're eighteen. Or something like that. It's usually a sign of an inability to think outside of received world-views.

Don't presume we all adopt this same snarky tone or approach.

There is nothing inherent in the 2012 MBA that makes it crash a lot.

Did you migrate from another machine, or did you install everything clean? My MBA is running Office 2011 blazing fast, with nary a beach ball.

Your problem is almost certainly software- or OS-based. You're going to go through a lot of computers if this is your strategy.

You're a teacher so I would expect you to be able to employ a modicum of logic and have some common sense. Logic and common sense tells us that it's just plain silly to draw any conclusions on an entire population based on one random sample.

People like you ruin this forum. There is absolutely nothing useful in your post.

Really? I must have been dreaming when I typed the thousands of helpful and detailed replies, yet I find that I add nothing to do the forum and, in fact, I ruin it.

This is actually very useful. It's a useful fact that a lot of the kids on this forum forget as they run around high on their own OCD trying to look for every possible issue.

Frankly, I think it's people like you that ruin the forum.

I am returning an Apple laptop tomorrow; if I bought it online will I still be able to return it in-store?
