Three new MacBooks, three in the shop because of random, rapidly increasing “shutdowns”
A huge fan of Apple, and not heeding the “Revision A” warnings (I never have heeded them in the past and have been fine), I bought my two kids a MacBook in May, and got myself one a month later. Well, in August, my daughters (white, 1.83) starts randomly shutting down. Then my son’s (black). Then mine (black). Not just occasionally. Often. With increasing frequency. Whether on battery or not. Whether running OS X or Windows (one machine has XP installed via Bootcamp). With factory memory.
Our Apple Specialist didn’t seem terribly surprised to hear about the problem, but seeing three dropped off at once was a bit of a shock to him. Jokingly said, “Thanks for being hardware testers.” I laughed … a little.
Here’s hoping.
