MBP? Very dissapointed!!

I recieved my mbp last thursday after waiting a whole month for it. I opened it and soon excitement turned into dissapointment as I heard the eery whine. I phoned apple and told them about it, the offered to replace or to repair, not being able to guarantee me a quiet mbp I chose to have it repaired. Friday comes and I recieve the box, monday dhl came and picked it up, it arrived to texas on tuesday and by wednesday it was already repaired and come today I recieve my supposidly repaired mbp. Yesterday when I saw that my mbp had been repaired so quickly I was a tad bit skeptical so I phoned applecare where they informed me that my logic board had been replaced. Today I eagerly open up the box, boot up my mbp to find that the whine is still there. The only thing I found differant was my screen saver, mac osx had not been reinstalled nothing. I phone applecare once again get transfered to a "specialist" whome does not know the trouble shooting steps and had to refer to a manual and would read directly from the manual. I go through the usual trouble shooting steps I had gone to the first time knowing that this would not do a thing. He then offered a second repair or a replacement. I decide I want a refund, but my machine being a cto unit they have to recieve approval. Thankfully I was approved for a refund and I am very glad. Sorry mbp rev a I give up, I will patiently wait for a rev b or for the 17". I feel that we have been treated like lab rats testing the new intel hardware. I must say though that apple has treated me very well each time that I have called and they have always been understanding of my situation. Buying the mbp in my case was a mistake but I hope apple will fix all of these annoying bugs for rev b.

This is not your forum and you are nobody to tell me that. This is a very constructive post, there are many people interested in hearing from somebody who has sent in their mbp for repair for the cpu whine. My advice to you is to get a life, take the rod up your *** out and relax, these are not your forums, you are not a moderator, you are NOBODY. I pesonally will bump this thread daily so everybody knows and is informed. Have a nice day dip ****!!

As for your comment daniel, I agree 100%. Who is he the mbp police? I think somebody needs to get a life...

Raymond,
I appreciate your post. As someone who is interested in getting a MBP in the future, I find posts such as yours to be an important source of information that I can take in to consideration before spending my $. There are a number of people here unfortunatly that think that just becuase they have had a good experience with their MBP, that no one else could possibly have a problem with it. I've seen all sorts of posts calling people that complain of the whine, or the heat "liars", and infer that they must not know what they are talking about. So dont let people like that bother you, there are people that do appreciate your post.

Thanks,

Dan

I hope you have noticed your post is neither a constructive comment or question, idiot.

WOW v100 you are very smart!! Obviously this is not a question, if it were, I would have marked it as such, very sharp there! And yes, this is a very constructive comment. One week ago I was asking myself the same question, could the whine be repaired? Now I can say that it can not. Seems like another mbp police that needs to get a life!!

As for your coment saba01, I understand, this is a great machine and I think it is the best money can buy. But what good does it do if the machine induces sharp headaches? Maybe you dont have the whine or not the same whine that us cpu whiners experience, but it is a very sharp eery headache inducing noise. As a law student I use a computer practicly all day long and in very quiet places and I can not use my mbp, it would affect my performance drasticly! With that said, I will continue on my 17" 1.67 which is DEAD SILENT as was my 12" 1.0. I can only hope that I can start my next academic year with a quiet mbp.
