wonder how many nerd rage comments and debates this will muster. "PEPSI SUCKS! DRINK COKE!" "NO, COKE SUCKS! DRINK PEPSI!" But so long as you're drinking SODA and not WATER that's GOOD for you, then we're all happy, aren't we? -_-wonder how many nerd rage comments and debates this will muster. "PEPSI SUCKS! DRINK COKE!"

This is a flawed metaphor. You can take a Mac to an Apple store and pay out the ass to get it fixed.This is a flawed metaphor. You can take a Mac to an Apple store and pay out the ass to get it fixed.

unless your Mac product is more than a few years old (ie. 3+ yrs old), then they look at you as if you have grown a 3rd eye in the middle of your forehead and are politely advised that they don't do repairs on "classic" products and kindly refer you to a MAC Authorized dealer. Then the dealer will gauge you. #truestorybro.unless your Mac product is more than a few years old (ie. 3+ yrs old), then they look at you as if you have grown a 3rd eye in the middle of your forehead and are politely advised that they don't do repairs on "classic" products and kindly refer you to a MAC Authorized dealer.

Wow. Maybe your Apple store just sucks, cause the last time I was in one I saw someone being helped with a really old Apple laptop. I'm talking, like, a Powerbook G4. Circa 2006, according to Wikipedia. This was sometime in 2011.Wow. Maybe your Apple store just sucks, cause the last time I was in one I saw someone being helped with a really old Apple laptop.

Honestly, my powerbook is about the same age... & all I needed was a new hard drive... that's it, just a new piece of hardware. They wouldn't even TOUCH IT. They looked at it as if it was the plague and told me to take it someplace else to have the authorized dealer to put the hard drive in *smh* They even told me it was too old for their buy back program where they take old Macs and use it as a credit towards a new one. Though they did offer to finance me towards a purchase of a new one o.O? So, yeah... I just installed the hard drive myself and if it dies again I'm going back to PC's. On a completely non-connected topic, I see you go to UNCG... I grew up in Greensboro just around the corner from that campus over in the Glenwood Neighborhood!

Small, indeed. Would the Greensboro Apple store be the one you were talking about? Also, I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, but will be going back to PCs once I can afford a new computer. It's stupid how much Apple wants us to pay for such under-powered hardware.Small, indeed. Would the Greensboro Apple store be the one you were talking about?

Actually, an LCD screen usually runs you $1000. Clearly, it isn't "more to get fixed" if they only wanted $400.Actually, an LCD screen usually runs you $1000. Clearly, it isn't "more to get fixed" if they only wanted $400.

$1000 for an LCD screen? u can get a 42" LED for that price. seriously $300 for the effort of fixing the mac is NOT fair to ask. It takes less than an hour.$1000 for an LCD screen? u can get a 42" LED for that price. seriously $300 for the effort of fixing the mac is NOT fair to ask. It takes less than an hour.
