The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I hope this happens to me in 2 years.

    Story

    That's just bizarre, even for Apple. Maybe they've been receiving complaints, and just don't want to deal with it anymore so they're replacing the machines.

    Could this also be a sign that the 17" models are soon to be updated with LED screens? That would definitely cause them to be more loose with them, I guess.

    Wow, I've never had any problems with any of my Apple computers, except for the CMOS battery needing replaced once on my old Performa 550. Even my iBook, which is 6 years old, doesn't have a thing wrong with it other than old age.

    Really makes me wish my current laptop was an Apple instead of this HP I got. :p

    Maybe if you take your HP to apple and say "There something wrong with this laptop, it's just awful" they'll give you a new MBP :p

    Well, you have a year to decide if you should, AuroraS :). AppleCare can be bought anytime in the first year of purchase!
