[QUOTE="keystone, post: 708892, member: 64144"] no, im not going to try and see if it works, because if i get a system that has problems within the first three hours of owning it, i don't want to chance more problems in the future. im sorry, is it too much to ask that a very expensive laptop actually works properly when i get it? i know things happen, i know computers are never perfect, and i know software glitches happen. i do web design for 8 hours a day, believe me, ive experienced it plenty of times. but it should not happen with a brand new computer. im not running and hiding, im proactively taking steps to make sure things like this don't happen again. obviously in this case, the problem DOES lie in the system not the user...i shouldnt HAVE to fixed a brand new computer. sure, i could if i wanted to, but its the principle of the matter. now if i would have bought this say, 6 months ago, or even 2 months ago, i probably would have tried to restore myself to save the trip. but if something doesnt work in the FIRST 3 HOURS well, im going to head right back up there. and by bringing it back to the store, i can get it fixed...its not like im shutting it under my bed and crying all day. it broke down at 12 am - not much i can do at that time of night- im at work now, and the first chance i get to have a spare 2 hours i will be at the cherry hill mall. i apologize for sharing my experience on a forum when frustrated and disappointed with people (i thought?) would empathize...my parents certainly don't understand what im talking about with macs. you certainly didn't need to be condescending.
