Title: Possible design flaw ??
Product review: We bought a MacBook this spring and liked it so much we bought a 2nd for my son's HS graduation 2 months ago. Both perform flawlessly. However after only 2 months of NORMAL use the LCD screen on my son's Mac has cracked. Apple quoted a base cost of $750 to replace--more than 2/3rds of the original cost! (Actually, they said "Don't fix; buy a new unit.") I was quick to blame my son for misuse, but now I'm uncertain if that is fair. I have found many blogs reporting the same fragile LCD cracks on MacBooks, many which seemed to occur spontaniously. Apple, of course, claims misuse and will not warranty. Even the additional Apple Care warranty excludes LCD replacement. Perhaps the cover design inadequately protects the screen. Think twice. Or at least buy a hard snap on case which may provide some protection.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
