A website called "Staingate" has been set up by a group unhappy with Apple's response.

Some of them say they have been told they will have to pay $800 (£519) for repair work, the Staingate website states.

A Facebook group formed by people experiencing problems with their Macbook screens has 1,752 members, and Staingate claims to have been contacted by more than 2,500 people so far.

US legal firm Whitfield Bryson & Mason has contacted the Facebook group offering to investigate.

People do pay a premium for Apple hardware, perceiving them as higher-end. Take a look at the images of screen damage--is their anger justified?
