hello everyone.
A few weeks ago, I bought a new MBP. I was very happy with it, except for a couple of minor issues. The space bar is slightly warped, and only registers if I strike right in the center, and the thing got really hot. Because I was going off to school, I decided to ignore these issues. But then the problems grew. Recently I noticed that the screen does not close evenly, it is a bit higher on the right side. I have made it a point to close it in the middle to avoid this from happening, but I guess it still did.
A big thing that really bothers me is that Dashboard, Coverflow, and Expose (especially Coverflow) lag. This is a pretty powerful machine to be lagging on such simple tasks. Also, it has been taking a much longer time to restart lately, about a minute vs 20 seconds when I bought it. And something that just started happening tonight was my Mighty Mouse would lose the ability to "click", even though I could still move the pointer around. This is fixed if I turn it off and on, but it has already happened again. And one other thing is that the light on the charger went out, but went back on when I disconnected/reconnected it.
I really do not want to switch back to a PC, but I am really feeling lost. I looked into the logic board issue, but apparently that only really affected the older MBP.
thanks,
