Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop Review
Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop Review from Joseph Romana Photographer. Great Performance, Poor Display, As my second Apple purchase (first being an IPOD Touch 16GB) I am quite upset. This is my first Macbook and I am Impressed with several things. Performance, Build, Style, Sound, Touch pad responsiveness and Overall quality get perfect 10’s in my book. However, the reason for the 2 star rating was the quality of the display.
Do a little researching on YELLOWING and you will know what I’m talking about. The first MBP I received from amazon had about 2 inches of yellow (stained) pixels at the bottom of the screen. I brought it to the apple store and the guy noticed it and offered a replacement, warning me that if I take the replacement I am risking getting a worse display. He opened a brand new box for me and the display had no yellowing but had BRIGHT SPOTS all over the place. This affected more of the middle of the screen so I went back a second time for my third replacement. This MBP has also disappointed me because it also has YELLOWING on about the bottom third of the screen.
Still, I am debating of going back to the Apple store to replace or just simply return this laptop and go with something else. Keep in mind I have owned this for 7 days total. This is a very valid issue and for a $2000 plus investment it is something to consider.
This is a known problem since the SR MBP’s and I thought they would have fixed it in quality control but no. I will give Apple credit for great quality service, but they should really spend more money on quality control!
I have the Macbook Pro 15.4″ 2.4GHz 200GB.
The displays affected were the 9C81, 9C81 and 9C83… two had yellowing, one had uneven bright/dark spots.
