I'm sorry this happened, and people have given you some good suggestions, but I've got to know: why the heck are you trying to put a Powerbook up on a high shelf with the potential…

Well, while I never managed to drop the iBook I had a few years back, it was essentially ruined one week to the day after I got. Long story short, I walked out of the room and wh…

Why won't apple fix the "accidental dropped notebook" through apple care, but they will replace the LCD screen with it?(and from what i heard, even "dropped" lcd screens"

Ack! What can I do? I got my Al 15" literally 4 days ago and the latch is failing. It won't stay closed anymore... even when it's just sitting on a desk. Is there anything I ca…

I have it and I love it... But it could be better. I have a very small working area (my computer sits on a lap desk and I sit on my bed - that's all the desk space I have). The …
