The only slight issue is that all those issues could easily, and would most likely occur with any other brand or flavour of laptop.
It shouldn't be happening with a Mac and they really should have just replaced the thing. Saving everyone time. I've generally had good experiences with Apple staff and they've been fair with replacements etc.
The whole genius bar thing is total wank though. I've had better luck with apple approved independents.
On a side note, Screw you apple! Tried my old Airport express (that still works) last night - just to pipe some tunes to another room. Nope. Yosemite wont work with the old hardware. And I can't get an older Airport utility to run. More perfectly good electronics consigned to landfill.
have you tried extracting the old airport utility thing from the install container? I had same issue and got it working in the end. But admittedly that was mavericks. Can still play music through it now on all the Yosemite devices in the house though.
