MacBook Pro Retina 15" Paint Already Chipping.
This is my first MacBook and I am surprised there are already chips on the paint, considering what I paid and the fact it is only a couple months old. I pretty much keep it in the same place and don't manhandle it and am not using it all the time since I have a different machine for work. The black paint is chipping off the "A" key and I noticed a chip on the bottom of the case. I took it to the Apple store today and had to make an appointment with a technician, but they told me that while they will replace the key, the chip on the case isn't something they will resolve since the warranty only covers software. Not sure why the key then qualifies since it is not software.
Anyhow, I paid over $2K for this thing and am disappointed that 1. It is already chipping when there has not been any significant wear in the two months I have had it, and 2. They seem to not really seem to want to help resolve a quality defect for such a new machine. Isn't Apple supposed to be all about their superior hardware quality? At least that is what they like to claim.
Can anyone here advise me on whether they have had to deal with this and if I could get a better resolution if I demand it? The guy at the store told me I should talk to the technician/genius/whatever about the chipping case, too, although they probably won't replace it. I just find that unacceptable for such a new machine, but I want to see if anyone here was able to get results w/o having to start yelling like an angry person and making a scene in the store. I would rather not have to do that!
