I had a particularly nasty bug where any time I unplugged my Mac from the charger, 5 seconds later it would go to sleep &lt;i&gt;though it was still open and I was actively using it&lt;/i&gt;. You&apos;d have to shut the lid and re-open it for it to wake again.&lt;p&gt;I also had the infamous ghosting issues, though my LG panel was decent enough that I put up with it for a few months. Luckily, when I took it in to get the entire upper clamshell replaced, there was a new part number in stock literally the day before that had apparently resolved the problem.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve purchased a dozen or so MacBooks since the original Unibody and countless iPhones, iPads and other minor Apple products — it is my opinion that engineering quality has gone down over the past two years considerably.&lt;p&gt;As for the issue TFA refers to - it does not plague my 2012 rMBP and I&apos;m sure Apple will, sooner or later, issue a patch to fix it. It&apos;s just a question of whether you believe they still have their shit together or not.&lt;p&gt;(awesome song, btw!)</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The early 2013 retina MBP 15” have faulty firmware/hardware</title><url>http://aniggler.tumblr.com/post/44586267125/the-early-2013-retina-mbp-15-have-faulty</url></story>

It kernel panicked on me and bricked itself. The only sign of life is a slight hum of a fan when I try to power it on.&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s the first Apple product I&apos;ve bought but I can&apos;t shake the feeling that this frequency of bad hardware is becoming normal.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The early 2013 retina MBP 15” have faulty firmware/hardware</title><url>http://aniggler.tumblr.com/post/44586267125/the-early-2013-retina-mbp-15-have-faulty</url></story>
