Well, they are selling like crazy now and 17% of the notebook market; 40% of higher ed choice.
So go to another website and screw up one of THEIR 18-month-old threads.
As to your "IT" recommendation, I learned a long time ago to ignore any opinions or "recommendations" from "IT." Everyone knows that "IT" gets job security from "recommending" Windows.
Drawing a bogus "conclusion" about a model of notebook computer based on a single unit is ridiculous.
Apple, according to Consumer Reports, has the highest marks for customer service. You could have easily gotten your unit replaced - many have.
You also should have contacted Executive Relations.
I am the IT Product Manager for a large 2500-employee AV technology company with offices all over the US, Canada, Mexico and the UK. In my role, I specify and recommend IT products to our more than 700 locations nationwide and international.
3.\tIn early 2007, the original 80GB hard drive failed completely, causing me to lose my data. I understand that it is not Apple?s responsibility to back up my data and thankfully, I had done a previous backup a month or so before. Still, the hardware problems continue. Again, I took another trip to the Apple store to get it replaced.
I understand that individual items made by any manufacturer can go lemony (and be very frustrating)... things happen, good and bad. But to use that one item as a total judgment against a company, especially for someone who's making buying recommendations for so many, seems statistically silly. Me, I'd check a lot more than one item before passing on the info. I mean, suppose you got the one good computer from a notoriously bad company... would you then recommend those computers? How could you be sure from only one data point?
Worse to me is if you were recommending computers to a company of mine, and I found out you didn't back up your own computer more than once a month ("or so")... I'd be very wary of your recommendation. If you're supposed to know computers but don't have a good backup plan... then, to me, how can I be sure you really know computers well?
The Fact these units are failing in High numbers is like Honey to my ears.{yay} THIEVES, The issues are Prevelant, I Do know the" exact" cause and "effects", (Do NOT Need some German Engineer to tell Thermal tales).. Apple is most likely aware of all defects, Not to include the"I" issue..... Just keep us in mind down the road as I see these to be a pandemic or across the board problem in my opinion. Food for thought and I will never divulge further Mac Issues to Apple period. They can hire me to find out or wait for further problems through their own means...
