RMA!!! Woohoo!!!

Yesterday I woke up bright and early at 7:55 AM as a result of my computer keyboard the night before rendering its self dead after I did a routine wipe down with a simple Lysol wipe that I have wiped computers with for ages. I waited for 5 solid minutes until Apple opened their phone lines and then right at 8:00 AM i called and got a customer relations executive and discussed the problem and also discussed the battery issue. The woman and I said to each other listen, this machine has been repaired way too many times. A whole motherboard etc. etc. etc when my iMac in the living room is 6 years old and has never needed a single repair. The woman said I was correct and said that there is no reason for an Apple product to ever need repairs in it’s lifetime if it is built up to their specifications. Therefore I feel that you should receive a replacement machine. So here we go just like last year I jumped up and down went into the bedroom, woke up mom, yelled IM GETTING A NEW COMPUTER and thus begun the story of My new Macbook Pro. Well It is now Thuesday as I type this, and they will be hopefully processing the order today and starting the build of my machine today and shipping it out to me to arrive by next Friday. I can’t offing wait. If you want to read the story of the MacBook Pro which is the one that is being replaced ironically, I got the machine for free! you may do so by reading this post. Funny enough that the machine that they sent to me at no charge ended up being a LEMON in less than a year! I got it November 1st of last year, and it is only June 15th when it failed. Oh well, looks like at the rate I am going I will never have to pay for a Mac again.

So heres the specs!

• 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 (8 cores technically, boosts up to 3.2 GhZ)
• 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2x4GB
• 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
• SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
