Fate of Macbook Air Rev A

It is no secret that 1st generation of Macbook Air had a hinge problem. I purchased it when it first came out and made a good use for it until last month. The hinge started to wabble a year after the purchase, and finally the hinge broke. LCD and everything was working in perfect condition, so I sold the laptop for parts on eBay for $355.

My friends always remind me not to buy first gen/rev Apple product. I know that from previous experiences.

I have to admit, Apple has been doing very well in terms of hardware recently(excluding iPhone antenna problem). I guess this is the price I pay for being an Early Adapter.
