A couple of weeks ago my laptop started acting goofy. It was running unusually warm and loud, so I contacted Apple Support. Online, I filled out the few questions and checked the box that I wanted someone to call me as soon as possible.
My phone rang less than 30 seconds later with a real person to answer my questions. I was on the phone a few minutes, trying different things that the Genius could think of. He suggested that I take it to the Genius bar to have everything looked at. He offered to make the appointment for me, but I passed because I didn't know my schedule right then.
Later that night I went online to make my appointment. I was able to choose the day and time that I wanted.
On my appointment day I walked in to the Genius Bar at my chosen time, only waited a couple of minutes, and a Genius checked out my laptop. He was happy, helpful, and answered questions that I had. He seemed excited to be doing his job.
I love it.
By the way, this is a reminder to update your iPhones. If you have Mobile Me, activate your Find my iPhone. It's pretty cool.
Stay cool today.

It's where the "Geniuses" look and fix problems. In Apple stores.
ReplyDeleteloved hearing your story and i feel the same way! love the genius bar!!!
ReplyDeletei took my ipod in a week ago thinking it was on the fritz because we couldnt reformat it at home. the amazing people at the genius bar fixed it for FREE and i can probably squeeze another few months out of this puppy before i plunk down the money for a touch. with that being said my next computer purchase will be an apple just from my ipod experience. oh and did i mention that my ipod is 5 years old and way out of a service contract.
once you go mac you never go back. ;)
I'm a huge fan of the genius bar as well! I've had take our computer there a few times and they are always so helpful.
ReplyDeleteYears ago (before I saw the light) I was a self proclaimed PC lover, but now I will never, ever buy anything but a Mac.
