Some New MacBook Air Owners Reporting Possible Logic Board Issues

This isn’t anything we experienced in our reviews of the new 13-inch and 11-inch MacBook Airs, but Cult of Mac notes that some users are reporting video distortion and crashing issues – that sound logic board-related – in larger than normal numbers.

As you can see in the case of the video above, some users are experiencing display issues (in this case on the 11-inch MBA), while others are reporting random crashes, sometimes accompanied by the graphical issues and sometimes not.

It’s a new product that’s just launched, and one would expect a certain number of units to have issues. What’s not clear is if the instances in this case are more common than usual. Have any of you newly minted MacBook Air owners experienced this? And if so, have you found a fix other than just returning for a new unit? [Cult of Mac via MacBook Air]

        Jobs: ‘As with any laptop/netbook if you hold it a certain way you get logic board errors.’

    There is nothing wrong with the displays. You’re just looking at them wrong.
