Aluminum Macbook 2.0 Design Flaw
Posted by James on July 13, 2010 · 25 Comments
Found a problem with the battery cover. From what i’ve researched, this is common on almost every Macbook/MBP yet. One forum user stated it will take three weeks for the Apple Store to get in replacement parts for a new product. Some have exchanged their laptops for new ones but found to have the same issue. UPDATE 27th OCT 08: Received s new Macbook as an exchange from the Apple Store – this one is fine.
This Was Your First VId!
@AquaDiscoMan yep it was ha! thanks mate 😀
this was your first video wasn’t it? I’ve been watching your videos since you made your review for the macbook 2.0 haha.
Haha, the first problem is that you paid almost a grand for a laptop! MUG
@Gabumon54321 ha ha, indeed it was. too right i wasnt confident lol
Sorry, for the double post, but, it seems like you weren’t very confident about uploading a video to you tube. 😉
Was this your first video?
@GOLDY449 Just bend the tabs down on the cover. that will fix it.
They’ve updated them. A long time ago.
I got the same model and the problems is very small. Only a little jiggle but I dont notice it now that I use a Speck See thru Case for my aluminum macbook. The biggest problem that I had was the slanted keys and it drove me nuts for a while. But since I bought at a BestBuy Store the didn’t let me exchange it for such a small problem. There are no apple stores where I live so I was out of luck
lol
I never pick my laptop up like that and im getting one of thos uggg *dreaminguntil new year* and yeah i dont care
my aluminum macbook isn’t like that….
thanks! i’m driving to an apple store right now 🙂
they’ve already resolved the issue. take ur macbook in or give applecare a call – they will send you a new cover.
i have the same problem with my macbook, its really really annoying and apple isn’t going to do anything for you..
the old one not the unibody one i think
I think yours was a faulty unit. They aren’t all like that. Mine is perfectly firm and it’s a year now of daily usage.
Check out my MacBook Pro unboxing vid over at my channel 😀
new ones dont have a cover
HAHA
It couldn’t effect the MBP…IT HAS A SEALED BATTERY COVER
i have the same macbook, he should have taken it back, my batter/HDD cover is sturdy, and doesn’t do that at all.
haha, hopefully a new 17″ Macbook Pro!
Hmmm I don’t have that problem
lol its cos u didn’t close it properly thats all. I had trouble with it at first too
