New 3rd Generation 15" MacBook Pro still has TERRIBLE SCREEN HINGE!
I just received my brand new 3rd generation 15" MacBook Pro (MBP) after ordering it off apple.com and I am completely in love with it...but to my dismay, the screen HINGE is still shockingly loose!?! From checking myself and speaking to others, the 13" MBP does not have this problem, and from other posts, it seems that the 17" MBP also has a solid hinge.
- Will Apple fix the 15" hinge?
- If Apple does change the hinge, does anyone think I (and others) would be able to have it fitted?
- Does anyone know why this is the case? Any information at all?
I find it very annoying that after spending over US$2000 on a brand new generation MBP, that something as basic and physical as the screen hinge is the main problem. Apple customers have been complaining about this hinge since the 15" unibody came out, evidence of this is all over Apple Discussions, as well as all over the net, just check out google!
Indeed, it is not a grave problem, but very annoying. For me, it's not so much a steep angle that will make the screen fall, but also that when the computer is at a slight angle, and you re-position it, that movement alone can very well prompt the screen to fall or change position.
I would also think it UNACCEPTABLE if Apple quietly makes changes to newer 3rd generation 15" MBPs and leaves people like myself in the dust. Anyway, just want to hear people's thoughts and suggestions. If anyone from Apple reads this, would appreciate a response and insight.
Thank You,
