Something bizarre happened with mine. I bought an Apple Macbook last December. This July it DIED. My entire hard drive just stopped working. Fortunately I was backing up on an external hard drive. Make sure to get the Apple care because Apple replaced the hard drive for free (well, I paid for it through apple care). Good luck! Be careful with the Apple MacBook.
