Getting Legit (Or nor) Refund on Perfectly Good Macbook - Turbando - 06-07-2022
So, yesterday the new macbook air was announced, and I really want to get it, I have an M1 Air already and it's a fucking beast, but anway, could I tell Apple it's fucked and get a refund on it?
Alternate plan would be to tell apple it caught on fire and get a replacement and sell both?

Hey, I am also interested in trying to cop one of these. I've heard of a lot of success with people EB'ing Apple atm, but think the macbook is too heavy for that to be a viable option.
Obviously, if you already have a macbook with s/n, I'm sure you're aware of the methods available to you to get another one
. If so, would you plan to sell them both and purchase the new one?If you plan to SE the new device, I would say that DNA is probably your best option, but I think they will be very adamant that you sign or they get a picture. I dislike using DNA for ethical reasons, so If I attempt it I will likely say that the battery was leaking on arrival and I had to dispose of it etc...

If you still have a warranty, maybe try to see if there is a weakness in the terms and conditions so you can get a legit refund. I did that years ago with my PS3 to get a refund to buy a PS4, by just saying that a controller didn't work anymore.

Oh lol, will do, thanks, did you keep the ps3 + refund tho?

yeah try it, It can be worth it!
no I returned the PS3 and they refunded me the amount it had initially cost me, I used the refunded amount to buy the PS4

I have recently had success doing this method (disposed of faulty item) with Best buy, ended up working for a macbook. Their team is pretty lazy. I recently tried it at walmart too but didn't have success
