I read the previous posts a bit smiling 🙂
Well, problems here with the cord. It is the second one, not to mention the same issue with iPod/iPhone/iPad wires. It is absolutely crazy: this has never ever happened with any of my cords, charger of any kind (so please, even though we use it hard, this should not happen). And I have never paid attention to them the way I did for my Macbook Pro charger. It never moved from home, never wrapped, never folded or whatsoever. Anyway, it broke from both side (one week difference) in the past weeks.
On my previous Macbook, two of the first model also broke (one was the connector not plugging any more, the other from connectors and cable). This is a shame, this is a pure scandal because it is nothing else than a production fault. Apple really s... on that. Next time I visit an Apple store, I will go and complain about it.
What I notice since I switch to Apple is that with time, the price is not getting nicer but the quality is seriously getting worse. Too bad, considering how good were Apple computers.
