Dude, you're getting a MAC

[exsequar]

I HAVE MY BABY BACK! And by gosh, he is the prettiest prince in all the land! (Translation: MY COMPUTER IS FIXED YAYE.)

Basically, I'm in love with Apple. I took my computer in yesterday at 11 AM, they told me it would be about 3 days - then I get a call this MORNING at 10:30 saying hey, it's ready! :O So for various reasons I didn't get to go in until just now, but now I have my darling MacBook back in my greedy hands, and he's practically brand new! This is what they put in:

• Brand new CD drive/burner
  
• Brand new battery
  
• Brand new keyboard and top casing, including trackpad and area where I rest my hands
  
• Brand new "inverter board," which google tells me is what provides/controls the light on your monitor, which was flickering for me before

Total cost? ZERO. The warranty covers ALL of that, which would have cost a grand total of $638. *boggles*

I am so overwhelmingly satisfied and happy. YAY FOR APPLE!! \o/

(Icon: These are two of my favorite things :D)

YAY FOR COMPUTER! *pets the shiny*

That exact thing happened to me when I had to get my Mac fixed. SO AWESOME. Two thumbs way up for Apple :D!

YAY! They are truly and fabulously awesome. And the guy who gave my computer back to me was hot and funny and nice. That was a great bonus :D

YAY! I love my MacBook, MacBooks are like the Brendon Uries of the computer world, don't you think? *beams*

JEALOUS.

What was wrong with your top casing that got them to fix it? Because I want SO BADLY for them to replace mine, since it like, has hand marks.

That's awesome that they replaced your battery, too, because usually they won't.

Well, the spacebar had a crack all the way through - it was literally two pieces. And the edge where my wrists lie had had pieces peel away in two places, lol. It was pretty shitty.

My battery had been behaving terribly for a while - shutting down way early without any warning. So I guess it was a genuine enough problem? Or maybe the gods smiled on me. Whatever, I love my Apple heroes! :)

Yay Apple!!! I have some issues with my computer, but it's past warranty and I was too cheap for AppleCare :(

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

My dad and I went back and forth on whether we wanted to get AppleCare, as I couldn't really afford it and I was paying for the thing myself, but my dad ended up saying he'd pay for it because he knew it would come in handy. And it did! It was really expensive, yes, but it's already paid for itself twice over, so. Yay! I think you can get AppleCare later, can't you? Still expensive though, I know :-/
