You ruined your own life by buying a macbook. Don't blame apple.


But I paid money for it. Least I should get is Support and fix which they promise with a one year warranty.


A poor person walks into a jewelry store, buys an expensive shiny diamond. A day later it gets stolen. Poor person goes into an other jewelry store and buys yet another diamond. It breaks lose from its gold ring. Local jewelry store can not repair it. Poor person cries his pain out to the internet.

What about buying stuff that you can actually afford?

I earn quite a lot by most standards and I would not even think about getting a MacBook, unless the company gives me one for free.

It's a luxury item. Period.


I see you got the true moral of the story. /s

on the subject, grey import is an issue in many developing (and even developed) countries.


I see. I guess the "issues" of developing countries have rapidly improved. Now it's only about MacBooks not getting repaired.


Depleting savings to buy any bit of tech is a problem, but value for money, Apple is hard to justify.
