Let Me Count the Ways You Have Failed Me MacBook Pro
The hard drive on my 13 month old Apple MacBook Pro died on Tuesday, conveniently as I was plugging into a projector to give a presentation to a room full of people. This isn’t the first time my most essential business tool has let me down:
- Faulty memory replaced….twice
- Replacement Logic Board
- Replacement AirPort WiFi card
- DVD Super Drive has failed
- Battery lasts about 30 minutes
By the time it is finally repaired, it will essentially be a new machine.
After 3 days of disruption, I’m now almost back to full productivity and only lost a day’s data in the end, which wasn’t that major. Using Gmail as my email mailbox was a lifesaver. I was at least able to keep on top of that and still access all my archived messages.
I do need to review my contingency plan though as it caused me far more problems than I had anticipated. I think it is just getting a computer set up again to how you want it.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt this time Apple, but please don’t let me down again.
