Un juez federal de distrito en San Francisco, desestimó una demanda acusando a Apple de defraudar a los consumidores mediante la venta de MacBooks con placas base defectuosas, informa Reuters. Los demandantes alegaron que Apple sabía que vendía placas base defectuosas, que fueron incluidas en MacBooks Pro del 2010.
El juez de distrito William Alsup en San Francisco dijo que los demandantes, Uriel Marcus y Benedicto Verceles, no han logrado demostrar que Apple hizo declaraciones falsas. Como dicen ellos, Apple sabía que algunas estaban estropeadas e incluso así, las promocionaron positivamente, dando lugar a la citada demanda.
Los demandantes afirman que la venta de Apple de los MacBooks defectuosos violó las leyes de protección al consumidor en California y Texas. Además, los demandantes alegaron también que Tim Cook habló de las placas base defectuosas en 2011, pero no hicieron nada. Estamos hablando de que una placa base nueva y su sustitución en el 2010 costaba aproximadamente unos 700 euros.
«Los demandantes no han podido alegar que las placas base de Apple no eran aptas para los fines ordinarios o carecían de un nivel mínimo de calidad», escribió Alsup. «Y los demandantes fueron capaces de utilizar adecuadamente sus MacBooks durante aproximadamente 18 meses y dos años, respectivamente.»
At the time Apple released the 2010 MacBook Pros in 7 models, which could even be expanded, ranging from MacBook Pro 13 inches 2,4 GHz, priced at 1.099 euros (with Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz processor), The 17-inch 2,53 GHz MacBook Pro, priced at € 2.199 (with 5 GHz Intel Core i2,53) and the El MacBook Pro 15 inches at 2,66 GHz, priced at 2.099 euros (with Intel Core i7 at 2,66 GHz).
Los demandantes tienen hasta el 22 de enero, para reclamar en el juicio y volver a intentar ganar la demanda, pero luchar contra Apple tiene que ser algo muy difícil.
It is unfortunate that a company like this is capable of losing prestige and therefore customers to gain more. I had a macbook that died overnight from its motherboard. I have felt cheated. They did not give me an answer and of course they do not value the effects that this type of behavior generates through the networks. There it. I am no longer a MAC fan.
well, I have a macbook pro model 2009 and nothing hurts and that I program all day, everything depends on the use as it is given, many people already when it is damaged they want maintenance, and in fact I am writing from my macbook pro.
I have a macbook pro17 Quad core and I barely miss a year. The video card died and according to Apple technical branches say that this has a guarantee, for which these models came out with defects and Apple takes over. But the issue where or what official Apple place to direct me for its re change of wood in Argentina? ... I don't know ... does anyone know something?
Hello people! I tell you that I had a problem with my 27 ′ iMac, I took it to the official service and they told me it was the plate. They told me that if the 4 years had not passed, they could make the claim, but not this way! I called Apple to tell them about the problem, and they took care of the plate and the overnight shipping they sent it, really incredible!
Enorabuena Alejandro, thank you for telling us, it will help people who have the same problem and may have more information about this problem.
