- Hi
- I'm thinking about buying a mac portable. It has a horizontal
- line across lower part of the screen. The owner says that it has been
- there since the machine was almost new: it showed up just after the
- 90-day warranty expired. He said Apple told him it was a design
- defect.
-
- If that's true, there must be a lot of portables with that defect. The
- deal is good enough that I can live with a few dead pixels--- I just
- want to make sure it's not a sign that the display is about to blow: I
- imagine that's a _very_ expensive proposition on a portable.
-
- thanks for any info,
-
