    Hey there everyone,

    Just wanted to share my bad experience with Apple quality with you guys.

    A couple of days ago, I decided to open up my brand new MBP 13 to investigate a clicking noise that I was hearing coming from the underside every time I carried it.

    Took the case cover off and found that the CPU fan had no screws holding it in place!!

    A computer assembled without screws holding the cpu fan in place... really? :err:

    Yeah I guess... suicide factories and all...
    At least the fan was plugged in, lol!
    I think my expectations were very high when I decided to go for the MBP instead of the Envy 14.

    Happens to all brands... nothing is perfect... and even if they make 10,000 perfect ones and then 1 comes through with a problem, no matter how minor... if you get that 1, then you'll think they suck :) Thats why a lot of people hate certain brands over another... the brand is usually fine, but they just got "lucky"
