rawdoggie, Place the emphasis on the light bleeding issue and politely state that you are not comfortable with it, and that you would like to purchase a Macbook instead. I believe that there is a high probability that you will get full credit for your iPad and come out of it a happy camper. I see Apple bending over backwards all the time to make their customers happy these days. They are not perfect, but they've got the best show in town. Don't let the two weeks part of it discourage you from asking for what you need, this gets waved all the time. Good Luck!
Yep, i took it back last night. At first the guy didn't know if they could do it but then he went and talked to his manager and got the green light. So I am a new owner of a Macbook Pro. My first Mac.
Want a comparison to the ipad 2?????
The ipad was fun and very user friendly but we were using it as a household ipad not a personal ipad so we couldnt use it to its FULL capability with email and all. I loved all of the apps but i do have an ipod touch too and my wife has an iphone so whatever we could do on the ipad we can do on those especially email.
I decided i needed a laptop after seening my brother-in-law's new laptop while we were on vacation. He had a dell for small businesses and it was SUPER thin. This is what got me thinking laptop. Compact size like the ipad and much more funcionality. So i started looking at laptops. Come to find, his laptop was a more stripped down basic laptop and that is how they could get it so thin....more of a netbook. But at this point i was slightly obsessed with the thin laptops. I looked at Dell, Toshiba, Samsung all had a really fat profile and just did not have a quality feel to them. This is what brought me to the Mac. VERY high quality materials as in all apple products i have owned. Lots of aluminum just like the ipad, ipods, nanos. The one think that i have regards about is the OS coming from PCs. And remember my desktop just died a week ago so i needed a catch all.
One of the other things i love is that we can have multiple user profiles so i can have my own profile with my emails and all of my configurations the way i like and everyone else can have their own too. Safari keeps my bookmarks the way i like them and someone else can log on to their profile and have all of their bookmarks. One thing i have not liked is that Yahoo requires pop on the Mac but didnt on the ipad or iphone but i guess that's more Yahoo than Apple. And i dont like how you cant open a Safari window full screen. I only got the 13" because the 15" was $600 more or so. 13 would be great if i could use all of that 13. It seems like i only have about 10" of browser screen.
I love the fact that mac has an app store. Only bad part is that the apps are limited right now (i'm sure much more will be coming) and some are pretty expensive but then again i think alot more goes into a full computer program than some of these iphone and ipad apps. Im not used to the OS X yet after one night. Im sure it will take a couple weeks but so far i am pretty happy with my decision to exchange the ipad for the MBP but if i had never owned the ipad i probably would have never considered the Mac....
