MacBook Air: the end of the story
by Andrew Macpherson on Mar.08, 2010, under Equipment
After all the trouble last year I’ve been treating the MacBook Air with kid gloves, so it was with considerable horror that I felt the hinge graunch again. This time the insurance company fixed it without prevarication, but qualified its return with “will not cover this fault again” which I think would be a prima facie case for return to vendor under European extended warranty legislation.
I don’t want to try it out. The MacBook Air is now on Ebay and I’ve switched to a slightly heavier MacBook Pro with a nice big 500Gb disc. The Air is beautiful, easy to use, light and just plain cool. It is however too fragile for me.
