What a douche bag! I love how he struggles to type on the IBM (and seriously, IBM, WTF!) and the screen completely looks shit too. What’s he trying to prove, that it takes three blows to the knife before the screen breaks or that he’s careless with money. Either way he loses because a sale to Apple is still a sale.

Wow! Are Apple fanboys so jaded they can’t admit there may be an issue with the macbook air?

@charles. a broken hinge does not = a perfectly functioning computer

God is graceful, all-powerful, omniscient, etc., you are a dumbass. don’t use his holly name in vain.

This site is Macenstein, what you expected other than Apple Fans????

And the computer is working perfectly, a damaged hinge is a cosmetic defect be it on a Mac or PC.

And by the way the following applies to the hinge:

1. It is no reason to destroy a perfectly working computer (technically it works well, hinge is more cosmetic)
2. If he gets the computer to an Apple store they will repair it under warranty.
3. If he donates it to a poor person they would not mind the hinge.

Finally: If you hate Apple fans don’t visit Macenstein you dumbass!!!

I am one of the 6 friends Jonas mentions in the video. I’ve had nothing but problems with the Air. After about 5 months use the sound went dead (the internal speakers/output disappeared from the Sound Preferences). Went to get it fixed at an Apple Store during a vacation in Miami, where they fixed it in 5 days. They also replaced the lit and hinges, as they were loose and I guess they wanted to make sure that they didn’t break. Anyway, 5 days later when I was back in Denmark the left hinge broke the exact same way that Jonas’. We do not have any official Apple Stores here in Denmark so I went to a service center instead. They kept my computer for 5 days and then called me and said that Apple would not cover the repair as they claimed it was my fault and that it would cost aprox. 950$ to fix. So much for good customer service. I spoke for hours with representatives etc who claimed that “[Apple] do not have any records of this type of malfunction with the hinges and no previous cases”. I pointed out that a lot of people have this problem (there’s a poll on Engadget stating that over 6000 people have experienced this), and after a quick [hold on] he returned with a case number which I could use to get it fixed. Long story short – I got my Air fixed under warranty, but went through a hell of a lot inconvenience. I know Jonas got the same response and he obviously wasn’t in the mood for a 4-5 hours discussion with several Apple representative all claiming that they have no knowledge of such issues, to get his computer fixed. That’s why he went to the only correct solution – stab the damn’ thing. Bravo.

Anyway – don’t get a Macbook Air. At least not the first revision.

I felt exactly like that dude, when I bought a glossy screen white MacBook for a girl friend and had to set it up.

The Macbook’s reflections hurt my eyes and gives me headaches.

Good thing I dumped the bitch and now waiting to take the white glossy MacBook to the firing range.

Oh yea, it’s going to go on YouTube and it will be fantastic!

FSCK GLOSSY SCREENS!!!

Notice how the screen looks nice and crisp on the Mac and doesn’t on the Ibm.

WHat a D-bag.

Whatever this is shenanigans or not, it’s just a waste and stupid.

Fail at stabbing
Fail at making any point
Fail at making anyone think the IBM is better
Fail at having (keeping) 6 friends
Fail at typing
Fail at talking (sound like he’s got marbles in his mouth-Ding Fries are done Steve.)
Fail use of !!!!!!!!

Come on folks. Wake up!

That was obviously not his laptop. Sounds like it really belongs to someone named “Steve” who obviously wronged this guy and this is how he got his sweet revenge.

Some of you are taking this way too seriously by the way.

Anyone talking about Apple fanboys or the Apple cult are really the ones with the biased, twisted view on things. They can only see their view, not be open-minded enough to see other views, at least that’s how it appears to me.

The guy in the video is seriously disturbing.
1) where are his 6 friends? Show them all with the same “displeasure”.
2) why is he [promoting] switching to an “IBM” x300, and not a different Mac?
3) why choose such a violent way to get a point across?

Complete disaster and scary sight. He failed at whatever he was trying to communicate.
