[QUOTE="Rui, post: 1635342, member: 342021"] Thank you guys again for your comments. I understand there will always be failures in electronic, or any other, products. And that the lifetime of a given product may vary a lot. But those statistics just sound really nice when it hasn't been your computer that has broken down. Yes, I agree that the environment could be the cause of the problem. I carried my laptop almost everyday in my backpack ... but, as pigoo3 said, that's what portable computers are for. I don't think my laptop had had a harder life than most laptops. Lifeisabeach, thanks for those scores ... but that mid-2014 Mac has i5 2.6GHz processor and 8GB of RAM, SSD and Retina, and it costs €1700! Well above what I intend to pay for a laptop. The new Mac I was referring to, is the cheapest one (the one on the left: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro]MacBook Pro - Buy MacBook Pro with Retina display - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url]) ... I didn't find this one in those scores. badshoehabit, you said you mentioned that thread to Apple. To what contact, more precisely, in Apple? Do you remember? I'm asking this, because the only contact I've had with Apple has been with my local Apple shop/service. [/QUOTE]
