I have to admit, it's turning out to be a hell of an experience.
Well, when you opt for cheap alternatives to quality PC's in order to save a few bucks, what do you expe...oh, wait...never mind.
I'm totally happy with my 17" MBP from early 2009: 4GB RAM, upgraded HD to 1TB, replaced unused optical with a 500GB SSD running the system and applications, never had a problem EVER, not even a dead pixel. I will not give this computer up until it is stone-cold DEAD -- after multiple attempts to resuscitate. Ok, maybe when Apple makes a 17" laptop again... like that's gonna happen :-(
Apple doesn't manufacture electronics.
The best MacBook Pros Apple has ever built. A few defective units is inevitable, but it doesn't change a thing. These are still the very best laptops money can buy.
It would be hard to put a price on the 2016 MBP experience.
always funny to see this. Wanna list all your apple devices too?
Keep telling yourself that while you're standing in line at the "Genius" Bar.
I'm not shocked about the issue. I'm actually shocked people are commenting as if this is the first problem apple ever encountered.
And there was Apple thinking the pro users are merely consuming web surfers!
Suppose when you can't give the NSA access to user machines via the normal route because of your stance on privacy, you need these elaborate schemes to comply.
Allegedly.

Get one of my model used -- better machine without the *snazzy* touch bar.
Anybody else out there finding their 7-year-old MBP is living a better life than its less-than-successful successors?
Really sounds like a premium machine... Embarrassing, Apple.
I really seem to be lucky in this one. Last time I wanted to buy an Apple laptop was 2008. I bought a MBA which had fainted lines all over th screen if you would display anything in white. Over 3000 CAD. Gave it back right away. Now, after waiting for a MBP update for quite some time, I thought I'd give it a shot. First the speakers, now this. I am loosing my trust into Apple.
You complain about surface montage storage and you cite a Mac Air purchase! More fool you.

Wait, you missed a bit....!
Problem is, for big companies like Apple it's always just "a few affected products". It then takes a class action before they acknowledge that the issue is way more common.
How many years did it take for the iPod Nano 1st Gen?
Where is the surprise here? First generation ANYTHING Apple?!
Well at least it only blows up your speakers and your screen. Apple FTW.
Umm, if it's a hardware design or driver issue, rather than a manufacturing flaw, it affects 100% of MBPs.
Just because you haven't done whatever causes this, your machine might still be effected, you just haven't discovered it yet.
