I have to say after the 4 try, Id give up. I give you credit for sticktoitness

PJJames, that's a major bad luck streak you got there. Do you have another notebook that can serve you? Maybe an older iBook? Maybe it's a "sign". Seriously, maybe you should just…

Is 12 a record do you think? That's crazy.

Fate hates you. Get a Dell.

man, i would've given up a long time ago. gotta give it to ya, you must really love apple. i would've just gotten a refund (which i'm sure they would've given to you just to get …

You should call Apple up and say "WTF, Mate!". 12 is simple unacceptible and ridiculous. I think they'd probably agree with you.

Wow, sucks to be you. Seems absolutely wacky that most people never have a problem out of the box, and you have been handed twelve "lemons."

I am not trying to bust your chops, however, if you don't get yourself settled soon, I will guarantee you that they are going to stop exchanging, and either require you to return, …

Man, that's crazy. I have to admit when I first started reading I thought you're being way too anal. But any of those problems would merit a return imo. But maybe mine has more …

Wow....just...wow...

Yeah, there's no way I would have made it past the fourth. I love Apple computers, but that is really ridiculous!

I think you should consider purchasing a different computer. When I got my original 12" PB (rev c), I had to go through four of them in order to find one that didn't have a red pix…

I personally think you're a little ridiculous. I would have sent in the first MacBook with the trackpad button issue for repair and have gotten it fixed already. Driving around s…

I agree with having the system repaired. Probably would return the "whining" ones...but with the messed up trackpad button, I would have gotten it repaired under warranty. Of cou…

A loud resounding...*WRONG!* Dude. When people purchase an apple product, they are not just buying a laptop, and YOU know it. If I had any of these, I would have been completely i…

Hey, if Apple is willing to keep replacing them and PJ is willing to put that much time and effort in the pursuit of their happiness with something they purchased, then more power…

wow !! well done for not settling for faulty units, many here are weak enough to take what ever apple gives them, then flame the ones who wont put up with bad units. i am in uk an…

No, Don't let them repair it. It's a BRAND NEW computer just out of the box. It should be working great. No wonder people have started to report getting flawless Apples, you clear…

you must get number 13 today

I'm going to have to agree with mathew_m, at least to some extent. While I agree with the idea that customers shouldn't have to settle for a faulty machine, I'm starting to wonder …

Hey man, I'll drop in with everyone and say that I thought you were crazy when I saw "Well... I'm on my 12th..." but after reading that list, I'm questioning my first thoughts. I'…

I don't think you're crazy. a bit picky? yes of course, but lets be honest, who isnt? lol. I am dreadfully sorry to hear that you had such an insane string of bad rigs. it just ba…
