Eagle Eyes
I made myself a bit unpopular at the Mac Store today. I spotted dead pixels in the screens of no less than TWO laptops. My buddy, Menno, was buying a nice black MacBook, but only the third one they showed was flawless.
Don't order those MacBooks online people...
Tomorrow I will go back to the Mac Store though and maybe even spend some money. Of course I don't want no fruity computer or ipod!
It's just... My tough, trusty DELL, Bertrand, could use one of those fancy bags to travel in. Right now I stuff the poor machine into the bag I bought for Fred, who was much smaller and way fatter.
I hope Bert will like the striped one I saw. posted by Marian @ 8:33 PM 7 comments

Probably counts for any laptop or LCD display you buy... we had exactly the same problem with an LCD flatpanel... beware of the death pixel!!
And I've seen a lot of MacBooks without dead pixels. *shrug*, your mileage may vary.
Well, seeing as I'll be relying on the ADC Student one-time discount when I buy mine, I have no choice but to buy a MacBook Pro through the online store. Then again, given that there's always a chance for some defect and the fact that the online store and the apple center have nothing to do with each other (except for the fact that you can buy a Mac at both), I'll just take that chance.
By the way, still have your panties in a bundle over the whole bachelorette thing? Or have you figured out yet that letting the chips fall where they may might be the better approach? In any case, don't worry about it all too much, there's far more important things in life.
@ all
I know all LCD displays have this problem and it isn't necessarily a problem which is typical for Mac. ;)
And MacBooks look so tasty I just want to sink my teeth in them.
@ Hiro
I don't worry about being single, I don't want a partner and I'm certainly not looking for one. But it complicates relationships with male friends, when I'm single.
Like some other people you didn't quite get the point of my other post.
And please stop talking to my like I'm some stupid desperate moron... I'm not.
And so my well intended attempt at a comforting remark goes careering out the window due to having struck a nerve... At what point did I insinuate your being a stupid moron then (seeing as the desperate part was apparently interpreted from your last post by others as well)?
Ah well, take it or leave it I guess. *shrug*
-sigh-
Your remark was rather patronizing. The set of people allowed to talk to me like that is rather limited.
Thanks for caring though.
ahhh... sweet sweet sissy. You are such an angel warning people for dead pixels and you care for friendships being jeopardized by being single. Well I wish I could help you with your task of being an angel, but I've got the flames of hell on my head (literally) so I'm no sweet girl anymore.
(If you haven't seen it yet you can find it on my blog, you know what adress it is?)
kisses sissy
