[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 620817, member: 21101"] You're hardly an insensitive jerk... but maybe you're having a bad day, because that response is a little snippy by your standards? A well off American? What does that mean? Spain is hardly 3rd world y'know. Apple Care is not part of the cost of the computer, it's optional. It's Optional for a reason, it's so Apple can scrape more money out of people's pockets, because as you say, once you've spent $2,000, another $260 hardly seems like anything when you consider the benefits, until you look at HP or Samsung who offer 3 year warranties as standard. All I am saying is that a 3 year Applecare plan should be simply for extra peace of mind, not something you throw at someone when things go wrong and say it's their fault because they didn't stump up the cash for it. That said, I happen to agree with your point, although not the way you're making it, that whilst the machine in in warranty, you'd probably want to get more comfort if you've had previous problems. As Aptmunich says, EU law states that repairs be backed by a 12 month warranty from the time it was completed, so the machine might actually still be covered. [/QUOTE]
