Mac is Back

Last week, I bought a new MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the keyboard and the multi touch trackpad. When typing heavily, sometimes the keyboard and trackpad would stop working. A bluetooth mouse however still worked and a reboot cleared the issue. The console.log file displayed things like:
Aug 4 14:18:21 zaafBook kernel[0]: AppleUSBMultitouchDebug: data length is 0 in enqueueData
Aug 4 14:22:37 zaafBook kernel[0]: AppleUSBMultitouchDriver::_deviceGetReport: DeviceRequest (interface 0, reportID 0x0) returned error 0xe00002ed
Aug 4 14:22:37 zaafBook kernel[0]: AppleUSBMultitouchDebug: _deviceGetReport returned an error in configureDataMode

After having had to reboot six times in two days because of this, I got tired of it and went back to the shop. Here they declared it DOA (Dead On Arrival) and could I please provide the box it came in? Unfortunately, the box had fallen victim to our belated spring cleaning activities and was already lost to mankind. This meant they had to replace the topcase, which took them until yesterday to fix.

I've been playing with my MacBook Pro for a few hours and I've not yet seen the issues I was plagued with. So I'm happy to see that my newest Mac is Back,

ZaafBook. Cool. Is your Mac Pro called ZaafPro?

No, since it's designed to look like a cheese grater, I call it zaafRasp.
