[QUOTE="tmjf_sifu, post: 18039"] o.k., i was just about to order my 12" ibook when i started finding dozens and dozens of posts about logic board failures in ibooks. now i am scared crapless about buying one. my last notebook was an HP and it has lasted me almost 4 years without a single problem. thus, i am scared of buying any product that has the capability of crapping out in a few months. my questions are: 1. In which iBook version has the logic board failure been a problem? I have heard that it was the last generation or the dual usb or the g3. Can anyone clarify this for me? 2. Is this logic board issue a problem for the new g4's? I have heard people say that it is. 3. Why the freak is apple not addressing such an obvious problem? From what I can gather, all of the shipping, tech support and repair costs have to be wayyyyyyy more expensive than just offering a final solution. I have heard that at least 2000 ibook owners have had this problem. How many ibooks has apple sold? 4. Am I going to end up dealing with tech support which I have heard is incredibly rude and snotty and ineffectual? crapadelic. there goes my dreams of a better product with a better OS. now i am looking at freaking Dull's again. CRAP! tmjf_sifu [/QUOTE]
