How about to buy a week27-28 macbook?

Question

Will those macbooks suffer from the random shuting down problem? I don't want to try a crashbook. So, is there anyone has a week27-28 macbook that random shut down?

Answer 1

the problem is that apple refuses to acknowledge it...
that's really really sh*tty.
It does take a little time to establish that there is indeed a widespread problem. Why would they "acknowledge" a widespread problem if they don't know it to be widespread. It takes time. Look how long it took for them to acknowledge the discolored plastic issue that people were having.
I understand that you are having the random shutdown problem. I'm sure that Apple understands that you are having said problem. But, again, you aren't indicative of a widespread problem. Before you get bent out of shape, yes, I realize also that there are many others having the same issue. But you need to realize that this whole thing takes time. Have some patience. They WILL deal with it.
now they' replacing the logic board which many
people have said doesn't solve the problem.
You posted (again) a thread asking people if they've had their problems remedied by a logic board replacement. Neither had any responses except for mine, suggesting you try searching because there were already a number of threads in existence about the very same topic. The thing is that you posted this before you posted the question thread (for the second time). What this suggests is that unless you had already read the other threads about the efficacy of the logic board replacements, you are speculating here about the "many people" who have reported that it isn't working - OR - it suggests that, having read those other threads, you're flooding the discussions with duplicate threads intentionally, which is something that the gods look down upon and delete.
am I going to have to deal with "going through the
proper channels" for 6 months until they finally fix it
properly.
Yes, like everybody else, which I know may be a bit of a blow. You'll have to deal with it and wait like everybody else.
Having to deal with this issue for that long is just
not worth buying an apple.
So return it or sell it. I'm sure that Dell, Toshiba or Sony may have a fitting machine you can purchase and use.
If apple acknowledged the problem and fixed my
computer that would be one thing. But refusing to
acknowledge the problem and giving me a fix that
is going to break again is a horibble way to treat a
customer
There you go again, thinking you're special. "If Apple...fixed MY computer... giving ME a fix..."
Again, chill out. They will "acknowledge" as soon as they establish that it is a widespread issue AND know what to do about it.
