a struggle with apple care but new i5 is in!

[bas-macfan]

I bought a 2009 quad i5 in june. The seagate disk was making me mad! After long calls with apple care (sorry, no hardware issue, nothing we can do) a verry nice person offerd a replacement.

Happy as I was, waited for a long time. Nothing happend. Her manager did not agree with te replacement. A 2009 for a 2010 iMac. I could send my old iMac back, money back and buy a 2010 iMac. You can imagine, I was not pleased at all. No service

After a few e-mails (a lot!) they agreed to replace..... and today it came in! It is stunning! Thank God for a clear and bright screen with no issues.

The new HDD a WD not a Seagate is quit but not silent. But something I could really life with.

After all the hassle, Apple, thank you for a beautiful iMac!

What was driving you mad? The grumbling?

Facts

Hard drives will make noise as they are a mechanical device.

If you wanted a perfectly silent device you should have just specced it with SSD drives as they won't make noise.

However, the computer has multiple fans and a CD drive inside it and they can all make noise too.

At any rate, congrats on the new replacement machine!

Yes the grumbling. @alien.. Yes it still makes sound but not as bad as the Seagate. It was really awful!
