Real Apple Store Fixes Fake MacBook Air

What happens when you’re in China and your MacBook Air knockoff breaks down? You bring it to the Genius Bar of an Apple Store, of course. And what’ll they do? They’ll fix it out of the kindness of their hearts.

This is supposedly what happened to a Chinese man who visited the Pudong Apple Store in Shanghai, China. The MacBook Air was confirmed to be a knockoff and the store was indeed a real Apple-certified location. Pretty nice of them to help this man out, isn’t it? [Mic Gadget]

    Besides, it comes down to the people working in the stores rather than the company itself. In fact, official Apple policy would prohibit them from working on it lol

    Would they have done the same, if I brought in my PC, and i couldn’t get my iTunes to sync with my iPod Touch?

      If you had a problem with iTunes installed on your PC, and you brought it into the Apple Genius bar, then YES they will help you.

      That feeling Mario, is the feeling of your false rhetorical question getting pwned.

      I doubt it, as I can picture Steve having a laugh.

    It’s corporate socialism. The apple tax is being funneled in to people who don’t pull their weight worshipping Steve Jobs!
