i bought it yesterday and charged it for sometime and i open it today trying to on it, it turns on but the screen just shows all this lines and lines black and white lines. Anyone know what problem it is and how to rectify this error? Its brand new and it suprises me that it isnt working.

If you've got warranty (which you should have) take it back to where you bought it from and they should refund you or provide a replacement

^ If they're bitches about it ask for the sales assistant that made the sale to you (You should still bring along the laptop, all booklets in the box, charger, etc. and especially the receipt)

My friend had a similar problem and it only gets worse (i.e. If he tapped the back of the screen a tiny bit and it would start going crazy)

Sounds like the screen might be cracked.Could it have had anything heavy dropped onto it?

Its telling you to buy a macbook

Where did you buy it from? A retail store?

IMO my Asus T100 has had some questionable performance (eg suddenly turning off as if battery connection was loose). Now I remember why I love my Macbook build quality.

Surely if it suddenly turns off then it has some sort of unintended fault with the hardware, especially considering Asus generally have decent build quality.

But it's such a PITA to visit their service centre in Singapore in the middle of nowhere and only during business hours or Saturday morning. It's not like Australia where you can take it back to where you bought it and expect some kind of assistance.
