Stop using that MacBook Pro RIGHT NOW, says Uncle Sam: Loyalists suffer burns, smoke inhalation and worse – those crappy keyboards

1. Assuming the batteries are exploding like popcorn

2. Not contacting Apple to make sure that his machine has a faulty battery

3. At the same time, scheduling an appointment at the Apple Store (or other authorized repair center... Best Buy) and asking how long the repair would take

In my experience most repairs take 2 hours (with an appointment).

Assuming hundreds of thousands of replacements could be completed immediately is idiotic. Ignoring that, buying another MacBook when you’re not satisfied is even more so.

If the laptop is bulging due to the battery, yep turn that sucker off. Otherwise remain calm and rational...
