Rev. A products have many problems as well as every other revision! I have the last revision powerbook, you would think there would be no problems or at least a few, unfortunately that was not the case. I had LCD lines, audio problems, keys falling out, and now possibly an exploding battery.

The LCD issue took months for Apple to confess and replace with a working LCD. It’s quite disappointing to hear there is still LCD issues on the new macbooks.

I have had no problems with my macbook. i get some dark spots from oils on the wrists (i swear i rarely sweat or any of that i was surprised to see these spots) but i heard Mr Clean magic erasers clean that up super easy.

4H619 for me as well: Issues include discoloration (two shell replacements) and a logic board failure which is the reason for the book being in repair right now.

It’s fairly common knowledge that Apple Rev. A products will usually have a few issues. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks a bit- but if you’ve done any research before buying a mac, you’d probably have heard it.

LCD Lines, Random Shut Downs and discolouration of the MacBooks are all able to be covered under the Apple Warranty though (According To Apple Service Source) – so all it needs for a fix is a quick visit to a service center.
