Slow at which part? Grey screen and nothing? Grey screen with Apple logo and spinning gear? Blue screen? OSX loading bar?

Thanks for sharing. Pulling & pushing the macbook on surface will often cause this. Always practice lifting the unit when you want to move it, even slightest. Else get a casing.

Once you spoken to AppleCare and open a case. All the details you given to AppleCare will be recorded to your case file. And VR Tech will do a followup with the same case#. Do provide the AppleCare case# when you send to them.

@shanecross, Have you try the software update for Magic Mouse (MM)?
What setup you using with the MM?

My millage with my MM is rather different. Connection drops and lags. I got it solved by using USB Bluetooth dongle rather the internal one. But this should only apply to Mac Pro as I learned.

Have you try fresh battery? If the problem persist I think you should call AppleCare, you might need replacement.

@volodstov, few things ask:
1) Did the line appear as soon as the screen turn on?
2) Does the line stay static & doesn't move?
3) Changing screen resolution. Does the line stay?

A few things to try:
a) Try with external monitor. Did you see the line on external?
b) Do a printscreen, did you see the line on the printed file?

If your answer 1-3 is YES, but NO for a & b, then most likely your LCD have dead line.
If your answer 1-3 is NO, but YES for a & b, it's most likely your other hardware is giving the problem. Probably GPU related.

What you should do upon a fresh installation is start Migration Assistant and move your old files over. Then set up a new Time Machine backup, instead of replacing the old one. To continue the old backup, there are specific steps to take: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1307738

Else Time Machine will think that you've move on to a new system and start fresh.

A few things to try:
- Reset router settings.
- Add DNS server.

What type/ model of SSD. How you did the OS? Reinstall or clone?

A few reading for you:

There are also several report on this issue. Have you try latest firmware update?

Maybe you could email the manufacturer about this.

So far have only seen OCZ user reporting this.

The best SSD I've tested are OWC Mecury Extreme RE Pro.

Try with a known good HDD.

That's quite bad, you should be cover for exchange since Apple said the battery will retain 70% up to 1000 charge. Or 70% up to 300 charge for old model.

Try reset PRAM.

That is a normal when you inserted a disc. There's a piece of metal bar blocking the slot so you wont mistakenly insert another disc. Sometime the drive will "think" there's a disc and lower the metal bar. But usually a restart or shutdown will fix the problem. If you problem persist, I suggest you call AppleCare and seek their advice.

It's mentioned on my other topic:

Good to know that. Thanks for the update!

60˚C is normal for intel Mac. Anything above 75 is consider hot. Dangerous when above 85. Unit will shutdown itself from 90-100 depends on model.
