Apple usually has some really nice products out on the market, but there's something about the MacBook laptop.... It's just not the most user friendly computer that you can purchase. I mean there are already problems of if you break a piece of it, you'll have to pay typically hundreds to get that one piece fixed. It's just not pleasant on the pocket book.
Although Apple's MacBook has a pleasant and sleek appearance, it's just not user friendly. I'm sorry. You may want to check out some of the following reasons as to why the MacBook isn't the best laptop for a person who's not going to seal it away in a plastic bubble and out of harm's way.
The big changes in the MacBook design, from a user service point of view:
• The glass screen is irreparable if broken, scuffed, or scratched, since it is fused with the lid.
• Dot-like spill sensors stuck to the innards like so many blind mute's ellipses, giving every Apple tech a reason not to repair your computer if it has been in the presence of that strange Earthen element, moisture.
• A keyboard that can't be replaced short of unwinding 80 screws.
Although, the Macbook is a durable computer, to some degree, it's not the best serviceable laptop. You can service and fix common problems with the MacBooks so please don't think that you shouldn't get one period. You should just be aware of the problems that you may experience and encounter.
Because in truth, the new MacBooks are rather lovely, but with Genius Bar lines being what they are, I'm not really sure discouraging customers who actually are willing and capable of repairing their own busted products is such a hot idea. But Apple's been on this path for years, so no surprises.
