Mac’s reputation is way better than it should be. This kind of crap happens all the time with all kinds of Macs, and Apple has NEVER taken responsibility for it, in fact charges you high prices to make repairs — or pushes you to buy a new one it knows also will break down. This Mac crap goes all the way back to PPC Macs.
They know these things are not good, they have known it for years, they won’t admit it, and they keep selling them and at prices way over $100. That is my definition of a criminal. And that’s the reputation Apple should have, not a good reputation.
