Returning my MBP -- help?

They wont charge you 10% for returning it. I would go in and ask for a new one since you will be having 2 repairs within the first 2 weeks and that you are wasting your time AND GAS!! to get there!! Just ask for a new one and tell them its the same problem and its clearly a hardware problem. If they dont let you return it, call your credit card company and tell them that Apple is not letting you return and that you would like to halt payment. Most likely though, they will just give you a new one. Good luck

 

Even if you don't return it within the 14 days your MBP will be covered under applecare, which is a good thing. You'll have a fully functioning laptop (unfortunately it may take them a few tries, but that's rarely the case), if not they'll replace it.

 

I would return it outright and (a) buy a new one or (b) buy a different computer. No point in fixing a new laptop over and over.
