>I tested it out and bam, kernel panic within seconds of booting into the OS. Same thing on reboot. So they replaced the logic board again, same problem.
>Apple's in-store repair, in my experience at least, is fantastic.
This reeks of cognitive dissonance. Their repair is "fantastic" yet their repair technicians were incapable of turning on the laptop to see if it was even capable of booting. Then, they did the exact same thing again, eventually giving up and replacing the product? You lucked out that their repair department was so incompetent, or their product was so defective that you got a free upgrade to a newer model. Doesnt sound like a ringing endorsement of anything except customer service.
