I bought my mini (brand new) 2 months ago from London, i live in Athens - Greece. After a months use i started to get many unexpected application quits and finally Kernel panics (the grey screen) and not been able to boot. I asked Apple in Athens for support (within warranty) and they told me THAT NO SUPPORT IS OFFERED by APPLE in GREECE, ONLY THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM.
I attemted to install Osx 10.4.2 again from the disks i got with the mini, first i did all disk checks from the disk utility and got no errors, i did the zero data to wipe everything off and started installing OSX, installation reaches a point (writting files to the HD) and it stops, i get a message "installation failed", there's nothing i can do. So my experiences are not so good. Coming from a pc/winXP platform, i can assure you i had less trouble, crashes and much better processing power for the money i pay. I do acknowledge that osx is a much better looking interface than any other. If anyone doubts my experience, look into the apple forums and see other mac user problems. I am at a stage where i have a mac mini, that cannot boot or have the OS installed, unsuable, no one can resolve my problem and APPLE in Athens tells me that they cannot offer support to me. z |
