iBook G3 (2001): Battery replaced after 3 years passed onto a friend who is still using it. Powerbook 1400 (1997): Doesn't get used much anymore but I still fire it up for old-times sake occasionally. But, keep in mind, this is my first laptop, so no idea how it compares to other laptops, mac or PC.Įvery Mac laptop I have ever had is still working:
Overall, not really impressed with quality (I do think the design is very thoughtful on use and ergonomics of a laptop like size, the magnetic power plug, the magnetic closing rather than a button that the few PCs I've used I notice get kinda finicky). But, the battery is really easy to replace as it was still a model that had a removable battery. And I usually keep it plugged in which I hear is not good for it. Might just disconnect the track pad at this point (I have a magic mouse, it's not like I use the trackpad as the mouse travels easily with the computer).īut, I have to say unlike other people, it's still running on the original battery (which has 93% life left in it). I have noticed just resting my palms on the palm rest will cause it to think some one is holding the mouse button down. When I replaced the keyboard (when I fixed the fan) the new one was even worse. Sometimes I have to open my macbook just a little bit when using it as a desktop or it acts as if some one is holding down the mouse button. The mouse button started getting worn out or something so that it easily got clicked. My laptop, not being a unibody, is pretty easy to work on). The fan started dieing recently (I replaced it. Had to fix the plug (The little plug you slip on the power adaptor, it fell apart, we had to glue it back together cause I didn't want to pay 70 bux for a new adaptor over one little part that they don't sell seperately). This also is a known problem with my model and I've been told (after I already replaced it myself) that if I had brought it to the apple store within it being three years they would have replaced it.
#How long should a mac book pro be good for cracked
Some time the plastic on the back near one vent also cracked (I just recently noticed that though after reading it wasn't just the palm rest that tended to crack on the laptop so I decided to see if mine actually cracked elsewhere). I mean I know it's a hard drive but honestly, a year?! That's ridiculously short even for a hard drive imo).Ī little after a year the plastic where your hands cracked and eventually chipped off (not a usability issue but annoying on such an expensive laptop). I'm just annoyed that *now* they admit there were issues. I just remember griping that will they reimburse me for the one I bought a few years ago to replace my dieing ones (no, I don't expect they would. Well not sure a recall but said they'd replace hard drives or something. Apparently they recalled my macbook this year for dieing hard drives (a little too late for me *grr*). Here's my list of things that went wrong.Īfter a year the hard drive died (literally within a month after the warranty expired).
