That is why I got my first replacement.

However, with hindsight, the screen of that one was superior to my replacement. So if you feel that your screen suits you perfectly (no yellowing, uniform, etc...), then you may want to try to get it repaired.

However, sending a new machine in for repair so soon seems kind of ridiculous. I would say not to settle and get it replaced until you are satisfied. My experience with Apple support has been amazing to say the least
 
my screen is fine...

but i dont really know if its worth the risk of a yellowish replacement :D but... for 2400€ i want an almost perfect laptop. repair would be ok for me... if its in store.

i think im gonna visit my retailer tomorrow.

they repair yours or give you a new one
 
i talked to my reseller. they wont exchange the macbook at the first time of complaint. They will fix it instore.

Its fine for me, cause my display is almost fine... i didnt notice any yellow-tint or ghosting (samsung display) and i dont like the risk of getting a bad replacement.

I would like to suggest for you to inspect the screws prior to leaving. They tend to damage the head of the screw that it will look rounded and have sharp edges that will snag clothing. I returned one for a refund for the mentioned reason. Not worth having a brand new system with rounded or stripped screws.

Just return it and get a new one. Repair on a new machine is not acceptable.

the reseller said that apple didn't exchange at the first time of a complaint. its a reseller... not apple itself.

Does anyone know where can I find the guidelines under which conditions apple RESELLERS are able to replace macbooks in the first year?
