It would be cheaper for me to buy a new Windows machine each year then maintain a working Macbook Pro. I thought I bought an strong dependable Apple product but I feel as though I bought an overpriced Windows machine. But at the end of the day I feel that I bought a lemon.

I feel like I've been cheated by Apple, and a $2400 computer shouldn't need a $600 repair not even two years later. They did a hardware test, and even though the logic board appeared to be fine on all of the tests they did, the guy there said that he's 100% sure that it was.
