Macbook air mainboard failed

My daughter is having the same problem with her Macbook Air. She just took it into a repair shop and they are telling her that its probably a mainboard issue, and they have seen quite a few. So after she worked her butt off for a whole summer to buy her Macbook to take with her for her first year of college that it is now going to cost $1000.00 to repair her $1300.00 laptop. That's just insane. She purchased it all by herself and even put a $150.00 case on it. She was so upset and being told its a issue they have seen a few times. Apple you need to fix this issue and recall because its not fair consumers have to pay to repair an issue that your company put into their Macbooks. I guess its time to make this issue known to all consumers and media.

anyone know ifthere isa manufacturing defectassociated with thismodel?

a recall by Apple does not exist as of yet for this model, so no.

If she purchased it over the summer then isn't it still under warranty?
