[gui-talk] Notebooks', quality control gone down the drain etc.

[Dane Trethowan]

Ok, well I don't wish to tell people what they ought to buy and what  
they ought not to buy but Dil computers have received some terrible  
quality control write-ups lately along With HP and yes, I'll be open  
minded and also say that Apple have come in for their fare share of  
flack too in this regard.

When I got my Ibook, I had a problem with the track pad but it was  
attended to quickly by Apple.  As I purchased my machine second-hand,  
I expected to pay but I was most pleasantly surprised to find out  
that Apple had treated my problem as a warrantee job and I was  
charged nothing, just goes to show that some company's still value  
good customer relations and PR, I now have a further 3 year warrantee  
on my machine.
