Apple haters step in (1 2 3 4 5)

[DomP_nl]

Yesterday my first generation, 3.5 years old MacBook Air had a small problem so I just called support and asked them how to fix this. The support lady was nice and asked me some questions about what happened.
Long story short i can bring the Air to a support dealer and they will replace the screen for a new one for free.

Do you get this service with your non Apple products too?


Just asking

[CurrentlySober]

I cant even afford a REAL apple...

[AllAboutCams]

so apple has gone down hill that fast they are giving away free screens

[MrBottomTooth]

I've never had a laptop fall apart like that. Not sure that should be a selling point.

[Wilbo]

If I paid twice as much I would expect service too.

[Babaganoosh]

I have a 6 year old Dell laptop that has never broken, ergo I have never needed support so that question is hard for me to answer. I do know that I wouldn't be too happy if my laptop broke like that though. It looks pretty fragile.

Weekly? You'd better upgrade ... "You've had your laptop for over a week? Throw that shit away man, it is an antique."

:D

Seriously at the same price point as the Macbook I can get TWO similarly configured Thinkpads. If I broke one I could just power on the other one.
Do let us know if they actually replace anything at the store, though. I know they charge $400 for 2GB of replacement RAM so I don't want to know how much this screen is going to end up costing you.

Of course you can. This feature is selectable from the OS.

The mouse also understands gestures.

I always wonder why it bothers Apple fanbosy so much that people don't like their overprices, overhyped, overhipped products?

They have some nice products but don't pretend it's the be all and end all.

Is it because deep down on some fundamental level they know they've not used their brain but rather listened to their influable heart but want to justify this?


Apple = religion.
Same thing goes for MS.

Stupid.

Next time you should call their helpdesk in Ireland, maybe you still can do it. I have no idea how general support is in Eastern Europe but here in Holland they ain't very difficult.

Oh gosh. You embarrass me.

1) I'm a huge public Mac fan
2) It is a common misconception from idiots that OSX has no right click
3) Your a moran was ANOTHER joke, referencing:



Is there a 'get a clue' app you could use in the future?

1) I didn't realize it was you Damian! My apologizes for not keeping track of who the fuck you are!

2) You understand this is GFY and your joke could easily be considered a realistic comment from majority of these southern swamp fucks that post here?

3) I know what moran is, refer to answer "2".

i have 3 macbooks , all with dead screens... to be fair i only called apple once but they wanted hundreds of dollars to replace the screen

As I said, let is know if they actually do that. On a mac server we had, for just a couple of replacement drive trays they wanted several hundred dollars. We bought a complete server for that money from another company. I'm glad we did because soon after the Mac refused to boot.

[SmutHammer]

That's great that they will fix it, problem you have is even "fixed" it will still run a mac operating system.

You should call Apple support, resellers are most of the time reluctant with these things

Can't stop buying this shit?

[ajrocks]

Apple Iphone support is crap. I had a new phone shipped to me, it was broken, they asked me to ship is back and they would send me a replacement. They sent by back a refurb phone that also didn't work. I had to get a 3rd phone which does work, but its a refurb. So I paid full price for a refurbished phone. BULLSHIT

Same here. My dell laptop is about 4.5 years old with no issues. Good support doesn't make a product good. A good product does. Not saying dell iis the greatest. But atleast it did not break. And everyone knows that all macbook 15 inchers needed a battery replacement after 2 years. I had 5 friends with the same laptop where the batteries basically exploded. I don't know why people don't realize these days macs are built with the same hardware as PC's. Just the OS is different. All of the people who believe somehow macs are better considering they have the same hardware, less available software. You have fallen into a great marketing ploy. Face the facts, there are no facts to prove mac is better. You have been sold. That is it. If you use the lame excuse about getting virus' and blue screens. The reason why you had that in windowd is because you are a shitty computer user and you should probably go take some classes on how to use a PC, or maybe a lesson in common sense to know what emails and files to open, and what not too.

[Rochard]

I've never broken a laptop like that so I don't know.

The smart thing for a newbie to do is start policing spelling and grammar in an attempt to appear intelligent. That's the best way to win friends and influence others here on GFY. Your stay here will be long and enjoyable, I'm sure.

[AdultEUhost-Sebas]

Apple is nice stuff! Healthy also......

[Sly]

With the money you would have saved by not buying a Mac, you could now go out and buy a brand-new laptop with that money that would have much better specs. "Free" screen or updated hardware... I don't have to think too much about that one.

You're lucky, I know some guys at the helpdesk from Apple and they usually tell people to go fuck themselves or pay ridiculous amounts to repair the goods. Most people working there get so tired of their job and people bitching at them that they pretty much all quit after 6 months.

I have been doing this for 14 years. I am not looking to make friends with any of you lol.
The people I deal with are BUSINESS people who make money and don't care about this place either. I come here for kicks.

I have said nothing wrong in this thread, I thought Damian was trolling, I was mistaken, and ripped on him since I did not sense his sarcasm. Thats how it has worked around here for 10 years. Fuck off.

This has already gone on for too many posts, I will apologize to you for mistaking the tone of your post. I truly thought you were some dumb ass trying to be cute.

I've already accepted your apology. Why are you apologising again?

I was being cute. But in a way that was seemingly just far too clever. For which I apologise.

Cut me and I bleed Apples.
