No Laptop! (Sadness)

So here I am, posting from my phone because SURPRISE, my laptop decided to get all glitchy on me today (while I was commenting too). So be prepared for some typos in this post. And a lack of format.

Long story short, the screen of my MacBook suddenly grayed out on me while I was using it, and then it became all stripey and pixelated whenever I tried to start it up again. So, while remaining calm, I rushed off to the nearest Apple store and made an appointment. There, super nice Apple guy who I don't have the name of ran all these diagnostics test. By that time, my laptop was acting fine (it's mischievous), and passed all the tests.

However, because I took a photo of my screen going wacky, and my model was under a list of recalls, I was able to send in my laptop to get repaired (Under this Repair Extension program specifically for graphic cards). This program was just launched yesterday. So I was really lucky to not have to pay $310. Instead I paid nothing.

Unfortunately, due to this slight recall, I won't be able to schedule any posts (unless it's through my phone, which I don't feel like dealing with). So yeah. I guess you could say I'll be taking a week hiatus, until my laptop comes back to me.

I, too am having such a horrendous time with my iMac. I get that pixelated thing you were talking about. Grrr. I'm so frustrated. It got so bad that I borrowed my daughter's decrepit Lenovo lap top, and omg. It's sloooooowwwww as molasses in January. Gah. Anyway, I hope you'll get your Macbook back soon.

Oh maaaaan, that's bloody awful, dude :( I'm so sorry about your laptop! My macbook had a problem not too long ago during an OS update and I went livid because I couldn't live without it (especially during a school year! all my papers! my research! my everythiiiing!!!) so I understand your pain right now. But hey, you'll be able to read and have fun in real life for the meantime, so go out under the sun adn tell us all about it when you get back > :D <

I know that feeling!My laptop did the same thing to me a few weeks ago.The display started to play games with me,and I was to the point of crying.It's still doing the same thing.
Thankfully my dad offered his laptop for me to use-love you dad!-so I am using it until my laptop starts to behave.
I hope yours will recover soon hun!
