| 1220159 | 2011-07-31 05:45:00 | My guess is Apple. Reason's: 1) People commonly hate on them :lol: 2) Imperfections are the thing you wouldn't expect from Apple products 9baised on their brand image thingy) If not Apple probably HP, Dell or another craptastic brand. Who in their right mind would buy an Apple? With Windows? |

| 1220160 | 2011-07-31 06:08:00 | Does the shop's demo unit have the same manufacturing defects as yours? I did not notice them, no. However, as I said, I found pictures online, exactly the same defects as mine. It is entirely possible that the entire production run might have been defective. If it were DSE you could have just returned it. I have not tried to return it yet, I will to do so tomorrow. Aesthetic faults are just as bad as functionality faults. Would you accept a new car if the panels didn't line up? I am not sure, a part of me thinks that I might be overreacting to minor defects, but now I can't really see past them. :( |

| 1220161 | 2011-07-31 06:12:00 | Take it back if not happy, what brand? | plod (107) | ||
| 1220162 | 2011-07-31 06:39:00 | Doesn't matter what the brand is, if its New, and faulty right from the beginning then they have to replace it on the spot. If the construction is faulty, there should be no need to "haggle" its faulty - take it back. If its only a software problem, well that's where it can get awkward, as technically it was OK before the updates, and warranties Dont cover Software unless its proven to be faulty from the start Eg: you buy a CD and its corrupted / Bad burn and wont work. If its not hardware - then most of the manufactures will say " Run the factory recovery, if its still faulty we will look at it" |

| 1220163 | 2011-07-31 06:42:00 | DSE have a fourteen day return policy and Noel Leeming have a seven day return policy if you are not happy with your purchase provided the item is in its original condition and packaging . You will need to restore the hard drive to its original state with the restore function before taking it back . |

Might be a lemon, but probably not an Apple. Take it back, complain. LL |

| 1220167 | 2011-08-01 01:34:00 | Ok, so I went to get a replacement unit. And it too wasn't great although better than what I got the first time round, but I decided to go for another laptop. The laptop in question was a Sony SB16. It's a damn good looking notebook, so light... Very nice looking thing, up-close it was just a different story. I will upload a few pics of the defects soon. |
