A Bad Apple Logic Board Can be Very Inexpensive to Repair
Published February 7, 2011 | 
The cost savings of having your apple logic board repaired instead of swapped out completely add up to over 0 dollars on some apple computer models. Quotes in excess of 00 dollars have been issued for the replacement logic board and labor! Finding the right facility to repair an apple logic board instead of replacement can make a big difference.
That is the tricky part. Finding an apple repair center that can repair the board itself can take months to find then MONTHS to get the repair finished. Proper logic board repaira do take a longer time to complete properly due to Q/A testing of the actual apple computer repair. A week or 7 business days is a reasonable expectation for a normal turn around time on a mail in apple laptop repair.
I don’t think even apple them self could beat 7 days on a logic board swap anyway. So that is reasonable for a smaller company to meet or even sometimes beat. I believe it is worth a week of down time to save 0 dollars and I bet you do also!
The apple logic board repair company should have at least a 90 day warranty. Sadly, a lot of companies that install refurbished boards can’t even offer a warranty on the board itself.That is another reason to have your current logic board repaired properly instead of replaced. You know the history behind your computer. You could end up with some 17 year old kids logic board who spilled coke on it and played video games 24-7! We all understand how much stress and heat video games cause to logic boards!
The price for a correct apple logic board repair should vary based on model and speed of the apple laptop or desk top to be repaired. At most it should not exceed 0 dollars and include return insured shipping and a 90 day warranty. At that price it is much less expensive than buying a whole new laptop or apple desktop. You have the security of knowing the past history of your complete computer.
Make sure the apple repair center has the ability to replace actual components on the board itself. The machinery to do this cost hundreds of thousands because it must be done with inhuman precision. Some apple logic board components require proper alignment of over 160 TINY pins. Impossible for a human to remove or install these types of components without error or mechanical assistance!
The reward of saving 0 or 0 dollars on a repair is sweet. Getting your computer fixed for 0 after you spilled coke in it is even better!

Works just like the macbook pro trackpad,
I have a strong preference for touchpads over mice so I was pretty delighted upon hearing about this being released by Apple. I have another touchpad made by Adesso that I use with desktops, but it is wired and not nearly as nice or large as the Apple one.
This trackpad works exactly like the built-in one on the macbook pro. It’s slim and very elegant looking. There is no lag like you get with wireless optical mice. The glass surface, however, has a bit of ‘texture’ to it unlike the macbook’s trackpad which is shiny. It’s almost like a matte finish to it which is ok as a perfectly shiny glass surface can stick a bit if your fingers are a little sweaty. (But if your fingers are dry, the shiny feels a little better
It’s well constructed and seems sturdy. The top part that holds the battery feels cool like aluminum though I’m not sure if it is. But it’s not cheap plastic. It has a nice solid feel and I’m extremely happy with it. I visited the local Apple store to try it out before buying, but they did not have it in yet. But I’m glad I went ahead and ordered it from Apple because it’s exactly what I wanted. I will never use another mouse again!
When you get it, make sure that you update your OS software to get the trackpad drivers. It will work without the update but you won’t be able to adjust it and features will be missing. You might have your computer on auto update in which case you don’t need to worry about this. But if you’re a weirdo like me and prefer to manually update, then keep this in mind. When the batteries die, I’ll update this review to give a sense of how long the batteries last.

|If You Are Willing to Give It a Chance,
I’ve been using this as my mousing input device on my work desktop Mac for a couple of weeks. I made a conscience effort to leave my comfort zone and move my regular mice away and rely solely on the Magic Trackpad. I did this because I was unconsciously reaching way over to grab the mouse whenever I needed something done and I wasn’t giving the trackpad a fair shot. Anytime you switch away from something familiar there is going to be stress. My long term preference for a pointing device is a Logitech thumb wheel style trackball, but anytime a co-worker came to use my machine I’d have to break out a mouse as their displays of awkwardness defy description. These things take time.
So I gave it a shot. What do I think?
I think the Magic Trackpad has potential if you are the kind of person that can internalize the gestures Apple provides. The 3 and 4 finger swipes especially are useful and if I did them naturally and without much thought then the trackpad would have a significant advantage over other pointing devices as I could do common actions like task switching or browsing back more quickly. This would be a skill worth mastering. I am not a master after a couple weeks, and maybe I won’t get there. After all, the Magic Mouse also accepts gestures and has the precision of a mouse. It’s possible that people will find the trackpad is good for some activities, such as web browsing where swiping and scrolling dominate, while reserving the mouse for activities such as file management or photo editing where precision is paramount. Nobody said you had to choose only one. Except maybe your wallet.
The addition of iPad-like inertial scrolling is a big win for Mac trackpad users, whether via a built in Macbook trackpad or this Magic Trackpad, and we can expect more gestures to originate on the iDevices and make their way onto the desktop. If you love the browsing experience on an iPad, you are building up skills you can use with this trackpad.
It helps if you are a long time Mac laptop user. I’m so conditioned to using my thumb to click in the lower portion of the surface that I never even notice there is no actual button there. Just as in the unibody series of laptops, the whole surface is a button, which is easily pressed with my thumb after my index finger has guided the cursor. Users coming from a different hardware setup might try clicking with their forefingers and find it exhausting transmitting all that energy through a single extended digit.
The actual device is classic Apple, part work of art, part extremely minimalistic functionality. My one complaint with the hardware is that because clicking goes through the little rubber feet on the bottom front, I cannot click when the trackpad is off the desktop, such as on my lap when I’m reclining. I had to enable tap clicking in the control panel, which works well enough, but I miss the firm solidity of the click. I still prefer a thumbwheel for its unparalleled utility when my feet are on the desk and the device is in my lap or on my leg.
I ended up disabling all one finger gestures except for tap to click as they were driving me crazy with unwanted drags and contextual menus.
Who will like this device: iPad users, power-user MacBook owners, those with Mac Minis attached to a TV.
Who will hate this device: people who absolutely love the precision of a mouse.
Is it worth buying now? I would say probably not. This is a hint at a future where the interaction between human and computer is more gestural, subtle and sophisticated. I don’t know if I’m ready for that future.
[Update: if you watched the "Back to The Mac Keynote" on October 20, 2010, you saw that OS X 10.7 will be make much more use of gestures for navigation and control, so come summer of 2011 things will start to get advanced.]

|Excellent choice for your media center Mac,
I bought the trackpad for my 2010 Mac Mini, which I use mainly as a media center appliance, with XBMC.
In this context the trackpad adds a lot of usability for the following reasons:
* I don’t need a surface for the mouse anymore. So it’s basically like another remote, sitting beside me on the couch.
* I no longer require to use the keyboard, for basic operations. Thanks to the gestures, I can switch between running applications (e.g. from XBMC to Finder) without the need of the keyboard. In fact, since I bought the trackpad I hardly use the keyboard at all.
Cons (same context):
* If you’re holding the trackpad with your hand or operating it on a soft surface (like the couch) you can’t use the click option, since it requires the trackpad to be sitting on a hard surface, like a desk. So you have to live with tapping for clicking operations.
