well let's not get into how bad Apple screws customers when it does so. I had the macbook (was it '12?) that had the gpu death issue - apple denied that the issue was a defect until a class action was brought against them; I was out at-least a thousand dollars as I had to toss the unit because apple wanted me to pay for the repairs which cost almost as much as a new unit in my country. Did I mention I faced the same bullshit with iPhone 4? Maybe I was just holding it wrong. And as I said, `but this could also be because of Amazon's shitty packaging where the laptop was in a box with only some brown paper crumpled in` - I'm not even sure if the issue was because of improper shipping or factory defect. If you're all that worried about wasting your time, go to the nearest retail store and test your unit as you buy it. I also forgot to mention, I bought the defective models through Amazon Warehouse Deals - so it could very well have been a return due to the said defects.
