i got my mbp in less than 3 weeks ago, 15" 2.2 c2d 128mb 8600GT, lovely! i have a relative working in apple in CA and he gets 15% off for staff price *2 thumbs up*  anyway, over these years, i've never spilt any drinks or water on my old lappy or desktop keyboard, guess what i did on the 2nd/3rd day i got my mbp  anyway, some of the keycaps are very stiff atm due to the coffee drying up inside, i took out the keycaps 1 by 1 following the mbp DIY ebook i found on internet. some of the rigid keys are fixed but some just couldnt go away. moreover, the keyboard backlighting are pretty scr*wed, now only the center part of the keyboard would illuminate. i couldnt get warranty claim from my own mishandling, could i? all i can hope now is the colour of the keycaps starts to fade, so i have a legit reason to claim warranty as this happens to a lot of mbp keyboards. ps. i have banned cups going near my mbp since then

QUOTE(OmniAtlas @ Jan 20 2008, 03:48 PM) Yeah you probably could; just say you don't know what happened  I remember my ipod splashed into the water before; I went into the apple store in Atlanta and I told them my ipod wasn't working anymore. I told them it just wouldn't turn on. No more questions asked, they replaced it on the spot. Now thats service. hopefully that's the case... as for the keyboard replacement, i guess i can't get it replaced on the spot, can i? still gotta leave the lappy for them for at least a couple of hours or days. i'm just afraid that they'll find out the coffee stain inside the keyboard, hehehe...havent drop by to ask them yet as i just moved to a new place and an assignment due soon damn, was reading the article on the revised mbp. i was hoping to get an mbp with SSD since late last year but guess we couldn't have all the eggs in the same basket, can we?

QUOTE(hapa @ Jan 22 2008, 03:11 AM) okok, how is the os? never try it b4, how it compare with windows?? better?? i've been using windows for pretty much all my life and been cursing on mac whenever i used my sis or mum's lappy. however, i took the courage to switch to apple this year and never looked back. i had bootcamp pre-installed just in case there are some software that's lacking for macs but surprisingly, software support for macs is way better than i expected
