When sending back to Apple, my motherboard got probably replaced by an identical refurbished motherboard or some such. Either way, after a couple of months, again leaking capacitors. At some point I got angry with Apple, but by then my Mac was outside of warranty. They offered me a discount on next purchase at Apple Store, but I declined. It left a bad taste in my mouth regarding Apple.
Still kept buying Macs for the next few years and luckily no other Macs had issues. But at that point I was sure I would never again buy a first gen (major redesign) product from Apple ever again. I'd rather wait until the early bugs get sorted out and buy a gen 2 or 3 version of the product.
I do hope in the future I can switch to Linux, but right now for work I kinda need Macs still (iOS dev).
