Macbook Owner With Defective GPU Beats Apple In Court

New submitter RockoW writes "A few years ago, Apple sold defective computers of the MacBook Pro line. They had the defective Nvidia 8600M GT GPU. In this case Apple refused to take the computer back and issue me a refund. Instead, they promised to replace the 8600M GT boards when they failed, up to four years from the date of purchase. Three years later, the MacBook Pro failed and they refused to replace it. This guy took them to the court and won by their own means."

    That can't be right...

    How could that customer create forgeries and attack Apple and get away with it?!

    He should be banished from Apple Island and be forced to walk the cursed earth... using Windows Phone.

    So many of you marketing haters forget that their gear actually fucking performs, esp. in the hands of a skilled user.

    I think that forcing Windows Phone on him counts as cruel and unusual punishment.

    Thats the problem. The lawyers made millions and all Apple got was a $10 coupon off thier next nvidia purchase.

    I find it sad that I actually want to applaud you on here for managing to distinguish your personal anecdotal experience from the given situation and make clear, sound judgements based on available information. Did you RTFA too??
