Macbook pro 15inch 2008 model has had problems from the start.
Initially you might get fooled by the speed and the colors. But the list of probs is endless.
First the motherboard went off because of a fault of nvidia graphics card. Then twice the dvd player has been stuck and replaced once.
The latest problem is it has developed cracks on the sides on the bezel and the whole display has to be changed. And apple despite of the laptop being in warranty taken their hands off saying its abuse and not regular use. And a new display will cost about rs.40000-45000/-
This is a highly serious quality issue as the macbook pro looks awesome but the material used is cheap and inferior quality. All over the net, you can find issues of bezel cracking and apple not accepting their product problem.
Apple support is of no help. All you planning to buy any apple laptop, pls beware and be ready for a lifetime of repair and service costs which will cost you more than your laptop.
For my own case, apple service centers have been the most unhelpful and different service centers ask a different price for the damage and the difference is more than rs.6000. Whats the sense of calling it authorised service center if there is no uniformity and quality assurance.
Beware of buying any apple laptop as they will not cover it under warranty and you will have to shell out more than the cost of the laptop for repairs.
Highly disappointed with apple backing off their responsibility to the consumer!
