I had 3 new Macbook Pro's in 3 weeks. Fault after fault.
Where to start?
I was convinced by a friend that the new Macbook pro was the way to go. I had never had a mac in my life. So I bought the Macbook pro 13 in spacegrey 256gb 2016 model.
The first mac had excessive backlight bleed (story of my life)
So the next day I returned it where they exchanged it for me. So onto the 2nd one!
- This one had also small backlight bleeding. Not the worst. However everytime I would open the lid from its sleep mode the macbook would flicker. It then started to make popping sounds from both left and right speakers!!
Yup you guessed it! Back for a 3rd new macbook pro....Can you guess how this story ends?
This was brutal for someone who had never had a macbook to get 3 in 3 weeks....
The third one was by far the worst backlight bleed I have ever seen on a laptop. You might be wondering? Is this guy mistaking backlight bleed for IPS glow? Oh boy that's what I was hoping but nope. This was "genuine backlight bleed" as APPLE put it to me... so the question was asked to myself. Would you go for a 4th NEW macbook pro?
Definitely not. I took my refund and ran. I am even writing this off a friends laptop as I continue to research what the **** is going on...
My question is this. Could it have been a bad batch? All three of these macbooks have come from the same store....and I am fairly sure I have been the owner of all of the stock they had....I have cut this story short but should I give it another go maybe from a different store?
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, 2 TBT3), macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
