FYI: MacBook Random Shutdowns. STATUS: wait - do not buy

Apparently, this is a BIG problem, which Apple refuses to acknowledge.

I contacted several Apple stores (incl. 1-800-MY-APPLE), and ALL their employees are just playing dumb.

Sad ...

I have an issue with my macbook also shutting down

I have got to hold the power button till the little light on the front blinks real fast. Then it will still just shut off with no warning at all. I got this to use with my DJ biz and do not use it cause I can't trust it to work. What have you heard?

Did you demo that to the repair desk?

Sometimes I find an owner that didn't return the product for repair. Never could figure why they don't call it in and take it back for the fixes.
