They sent a full replacement after 1.5 years? Damn that's some good support.
Because shit shouldn't just break after 1.5 years
Apple will sell you a laptop with dead pixels on the screen and refuse to replace it unless a certain minimum number are dead. I was furious.
Wow, I'd expect that from a knock-off monitor company, but Apple? That's crazy.
They mostly do that these days. Not many monitors have dead pixel policies.
I used to work for a company that made an ultra low budget android tablet. We had dead pixels on like 10% of them. Our LCD provider would tell us the same thing. Unless there are at least 3 dead pixels, they aren't taking them back. We changed our LCD provider ASAP, but we sold probably 1-2K of those POSes. That's probably 100-200 $50 tablets with dead pixels.
But at least our tablets were $50 pieces of trash, not $2000+ MacBooks.
I hope this was your reaction https://youtube.com/shorts/0fG5QzT5sKs?feature=share
I had a 3 day old Macbook Pro have the screen shatter when opening it. The store said it would be covered then the repair center said it would be $2000 which was only $600 less than the entire laptop. Took like 3 hours on the phone and finally the freaking store paid out the repair center. Thinkpads from now on lol
