I bought a $3,000 MacBook Pro (17 inch HiRes with 4 GB and a big harddrive) from apple's website and it arrived Wednesday night
the computer will not stay on long, about 5 min or less, before it just shuts off
i called tech support several times yesterday, erase and installed 3 times, the problem still persisted, on the several attempts to do a fourth erase and install the computer would not stay on long enough to install
i tried to bring it to several apple/computer stores today, nobody in town will repair under warranty (only 1 store in the state is authorized)
i am now trying to send it in to apple through the mail, but it will take a few days before they will send me a box to ship it to them and then it will take 10-14 business days before i get that back
also no one in town will let me return it so i can buy a brand new one now
and the computer is not even 36 hours old
