It was ordered through the school. They did get applecare but I don't
want to play the redtape game unless something really is bad. Even
if it
was as simple as walking into the store, transferring stuff from
one HDD
to the other is more of a pain than I want to deal with unless I know
something's wrong.
I don't think there's anything physically wrong, anyhow. It's maybe
not
half as bad as windows - it does go a week or two between freezes.
Mostly I learn "don't do that" and it doesn't freeze, so I think it's
software issues.
You've been conditioned by the rest of the industry. ;) I've had my
Macbook Pro for 6 months and the only times it freezes are caused
specifically by software that I know has issues (World of Warcraft
with certain settings turned on). I did have the hard drive replaced
because it was crashing constantly and eventually wouldn't boot at all.
If it's within the 1 year timeframe, you have automatic support/
warranty. Make use of it!
