Return of MacBook

5 March 2007

So, a mere five weeks after it broke, my MacBook has finally returned from some TLC in the hands of Apple. Hence, this is another short post – I’m on quite a run now, managing only two vaguely substantial posts last week, but I have all sorts of installing and tweaking to do.

Miraculously, Apple have actually fixed everything I wanted them to; I got a new logic board and HD, both if which were expected, but I also got a new top case (which is the inner top bit, including the keyboard and trackpad). I did point out when it went in that I had discolouration, a dodgy down arrow and a mushy trackpad key but I wasn’t sure if they’d bother fixing them.

Other then the 5 week delay – which would have been a major inconvenience if it wasn’t for my work MacBook Pro – the service has been very good. I actually went through John Lewis as opposed to Apple, as I couldn’t be bothered with the absurd waiting times/booking system at the Apple Store, and they were very good (and were where I bought the thing from, as they offer a free 2yr warranty).

All in all, eventually a happy ending.
