It has been brought to our attention that there appears to be a growing amount of users who are experiencing a defect on the MacBook Pro. From what I can see it has to do with the latching system where the battery is contained. I wanted to post this to create more awareness and hope those who read this would do the same and link this story.

I have to say that was hillarious Interstink. lol

"Apple always stands behind their products!"

Yea, just like HTC. After they stand to the side of them for the first couple of months that an issue is reported. (Nano scratchy screen issue anyone?)

Not a defect, it's a feature! The new button-less battery cover/trackpad. Did anyone try the ONE FINGER gesture on the Battery Trackpad?

Apple will fix or replace anyone with this issue - no doubt! Apple just gave me a NEW Macbook Air, because my mouse button didnt always work (Which I couldn't reproduce at the store).

At least Apple always stands behind their products!

'so much for quality control.'
Took the words right out of my mouth. I guess a defective battery cover is worth the extra money Apple charges for a premium. :)

So much for quality control. Do they pick up laptops from the assembly line to check them every now and then.

Yea, I know Apple. They will be right on it, right after they deny the problem exists for a couple of months first. (3G issues anyone?)

Nice catch. But you know Apple, they'll be right on it. No BS, well not much anyway
