Why I owned a Macbook Pro for a day

Glad I went with the older non-touchbar model. No complaints with that one.<p>But it does remind me of a dirty trick they pulled on me with a MacBook years ago. The hard drive failed only days before the warranty expiring, and when I took it in for a replacement they said the hard drives were out of stock (I don&#x27;t believe for a second they didn&#x27;t have a single 2.5&quot; SATA drive in the entire service centre). They knew I was travelling and didn&#x27;t have time to wait for several days, so they printed out an official-looking work order that I was to bring to a service centre on my next stop. Of course the work order wasn&#x27;t worth the paper it was printed on and they treated it as any out-of-warranty repair.
