MAC BOOK PRO: 2008 model: Apple Declares As Vintage, NO repairs possible, huhhh My APPLE was RED and Not GREEN

My APPLE was RED and Not GREEN


Apple has introduced this programme where they state following

"Computer Reuse and Recycling

Apple’s commitment to the environment includes finding the most efficient ways to reuse or recycle electronic equipment, including computers and displays from any manufacturer."
You can read more about this programme here

I ignored this news so far but I realise it now what is the motivation behind the same when  display of personal mac book pro belonging to my wife went down and it is being declared as vintage model and can not be repaired. This is a HUGE Waste. Apple is selling millions of products and imagine how much waste it would generate with shorter life span for their products.

APPLE earns billions in revenues, they should learn to GIVE BACK to the user, society and more importantly to the GREEN environment. They should invest in building a product which lasts as long as you like them to be. People should  learn that no matter how much they earn, how much they grow, how far they go, they owe something to the very own people who helped them. APPLE should focus on building GREEN APPLE and not RED APPLE.

As a consumer when you pay euro 2000 for your mac book you expect it to  last at least for 10yrs.
My official mac book pro, I had to repair 5 times in the span of 6 months.

On the other hand I have an Euro 250 OLD tv at home which is 10 yrs old, it works without any repair. I have even older TV at my home town Euro 300, 16yrs old but its just perfect. I used nokia phone 2210 which I had bought for $100 and lasted for 5 yrs without any issues and I had lost it afterwords.

We should build a technology/network/product which lasts and I take pride in doing that :-)
