One of the toys I ordered after the sale of my Quad arrived this week, but, unfortunately, it arrived broken.
The white 2GHz MacBook, customized with a 100GB hard drive, is a replacement for our older PowerBook, which we sold to a friend. The MB will be our living-room machine and Katia's primary computer. With my luck, it showed up early but broken. Well, not "broken," really, but not flawless.
The machine vibrates like crazy. Like, not good, what the hell, it's hurting my hands vibrating. All the time, non-stop, fun, fun, fun. Oh, and there's a dead pixel in the center of the display. Not good. I've had plenty of Apple portables, and none of them vibrated so, after a call to Apple, it's being replaced. The only problem is, of course, I have to send this one back. So now we're waiting again, without a computer at home.
Aside from the issues with the computer, I will say that the MacBook is truly impressive—I instantly fell in love with it. I'm excited for it to return.
Now, hopefully, the other toys will all be flawless when they arrive next week.
