Does the glossy screen make dead pixels more visible, I mean more obvious?

Even if you didn't care, it has impact on the resell value. Return it.

Same here, when I ordered mine to Dublin, it went from Cork to the Nederlands, to Dublin.
Why it couldn't be shipped direct from Cork I don't know.
- i think the data processing is in the netherlands, not the actual packagejanne76
- refurbsihed items are shipped from NL303
- Next thing you'd want an Apple store in the country that hosts Apple EU headquarters huh? Bad apple you!rafalski
- hmm..janne76

Unlucky...have you been getting the click problem too?
I want to go buy one but ive been putting it off.

Should I get the new 13-inch macbook? Don't need it for a lot of work (I'm full time and don't do much freelance) but want to be able to run CS3 on the go etc.
are the new macbooks fast enough for that or do I need a macbook pro (they seem v expensive)

the screen went on my 17 inch, took it to the apple store and had a new screen put on it in two days... pretty impressive

I hate customizing my Apple stuff too. I don't like that it comes from Shanghai. My order has been messed up before.

i really do not think, i have ever had any sort of electronic device shipped to me that has *not* been damaged in some way. wait- that is not true. i had to once spec 20 of those rubber-cornered
'durable' notebook computers for a special group in the middle east. those did not get damaged. actually, dropped one out the second story window (from a house) to test it as they said it could withstand that sort of impact. It did. :)

Ouch dead pixels are no fun. Hopefully they don't hassle you, the old rule was 10 pixels for it to be covered under warranty. I've had numerous computers come from Shanghai and they were fine, it was the ones from (insert mac mailorder here) that would come messed up, but that was pre apple stores.
- yup, been on to them this morning, replacing it. Another week of watching its travels around the globe.Bullitt

my applecare runs out in half a year.. how do I produce a row of pixels?
- ChankD0
I too am plagued with dead pixels. I've only found one but just bought it on Sunday. Is this grounds for a return?
