Hey, just a question for you guys. I have an IBM ThinkPad and normally I'd never purchase an extended warranty but I did for it and now I'd never buy a laptop without it. I had trouble with my HDD and battery and got new ones within days. The only thing is at Apple it says you can call phone support, and bring it into a Apple Repair centre if you have problems. With IBM, I'd just call, say "My battery only lasts 15 minutes now instead of 3 hours" and they'd say "Okay we'll mail you a new one just send us the old one back in the box we provide." No questions asked. The Apple site makes it sound like you need to bring it in and have it tested and such. One of the things I liked about the IBM plan is being able to get problems fixed with no questions asked. Is this how it works with Apple? Because if you need to bring it into a repair centre and leave it up to their judgement then I'd probably not get it. I realize after a year or so batteries degrade but that's why IBM suggests their warranty so you can get a new one. Just don't want to run into hassles since its not cheap! Thanks!
