I was calm, i didnt throuw it, didnt swear, i even didnt send an abusive email to the guy i bought it off. i was very very lucky that it is still under warranty (til jan 25th 2012). So its the same as any other product out there in the market - dont plan on having it long term without a backup plan. i will be taking up the applecare warranty after i get it fixed.

Yep David - a machine is just a machine is just a machine. Like any other, they will all occasionally die nasty deaths.
Was it at all wet at the time with dew? Unlike most laptops, the Airs run quite cool, so in moist air they aren't as ameliorative - i.e. they don't act as their own dew heater.
