ok, ive had the new pb for a few weeks. it's an awesome machine.

however it has one humungous flaw and i was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this. I'm going to be sending it back to apple to get it fixed.

Here is what i does.

You have hte laptop on your lap, top pushed all the way back. You press on the back bottom of the screen - boom. screen flashes w/ crap and turns off. I really can't figure out if the machine is still on at this point, but i can't get sound or anything out of it, so i think it's dead. also sometimes the fans turn on full blast at this point.

WEIRD HUH?!!

so it's going back - i think probably there's a cable that gets extended to its max, and by pressing on the case it gets pulled out just enough to totally hose everything. i don't have an external monitor to find out more details.



fb

PS otherwise this little laptop kicks total b*77
