I had this problem, and I bought my Macbookt he day after it was released.

It first started after about 2 weeks, but I thought it was just a freak accident so I went on. It didn't happen for anoter week, and then it started doing it repeatedly, sometimes not even allowing me to power it back on.

When I first took it in, it shut down in the 'Genius's' face, and he blamed it on 3rd party software I had installed. He then continued to run it on his copy of OS X off of an iPod. He ran the CPU stress test, no problems there. He told me to reinstall OS X and see if it helps.

I go home, and after three (3!) tries, OS X was sucessfully reinstalled. At the setup/welcome screen, it happened. I freaked out. I happened to be going to Europe the next day at 6 AM, and could't get my Macbook fixed for the trip!
So, I spend three weeks without my laptop, while I sit and watch my friend on his Powerbook type away into the night (Oh how I wish I could have!)

I come home, (Luckily I was the last flight out of Heathrow before the little bomb incedent) and go into the Apple store the next day.
I'm so pissed off, I just tell the guy, give me a new damn laptop. I told my story, he said he'd never heard of it before (He had to be lying, for whatever reason, because he is one of the smartest guys there, I see him all the time) and he takes it into the back, says it might' be the logic board, but it'll cost $890.63 to repair if it gets sent off since I dropped it and dinged up one corner of it. (I pretty much start crying now)

Anyways, I got him to repair it 'in house' and they fixed it within about a week, and it's worked fine for me.
But he sure seemed hesitant to replace it for me, even though it was obviously the logic board and I told him to check the Apple forums

bah
Bring on the flame war:

My iPod Mini had this how long ago? A year and a half?

and for the same price?




Please, can we have some real iPod competition?
As much as I like seeing others fail, I want something new!
(As I cling on to my 20 GB iPod and Macbook like it's my life)
The Apple 20" display is only $800, with a 1600 x 1250 resolution.
I would hope you have a really cool wife.
Or you may be looking for a divorce lawyer pretty soon :-P
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
