Can I get a refund for a replacement MacBook Pro?
I recently recieved a replacement for my MacBook Pro 2011 for free since I had AppleCare. The new MBP is a Late 2013 Retina model. Admittedly, the Retina display is gorgeous, and the laptop is speedy, but...I'm not happy with it. I miss my CD drive, I miss my Hi-Res Anti-glare display, I miss all the extra ports, and I miss being able to upgrade/fix the laptop myself when necessary. So, I want to return and get a refund for the replacement, and then buy a refurbished 2012 model from the Apple's online Mac refurb store.
I was told by Apple support that I should be able to get a refund, but then they directed me to contact the actual store where I recieved the replacement. So I called the store, and they told me I cannot get a refund.
Who is correct, Apple Support, or the actual Apple Store? I am confused, and I don't want to be stuck with a MBP I don't want.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
