[QUOTE="sandito, post: 1168211, member: 186339"] i bought my macbook 3 1/2 years ago, bought the retailer's 2 year extended warranty, which ran out 6 months ago. i have had nothing but problems with my macbook, throughout the time i've used it (thank goodness i bought the extended warranty!). i am learning from Apple certified reps, that a macbook typically lasts about 5 years. i am now having new problems with my macbook, and am trying to decide if i should just buy a new laptop (instead of pouring more $$ into this "older" laptop) and if that new laptop should be a pc instead of a mac. my apple experience has not been a good one, and apple has not offered anything to soften this blow for me (i've talked to them twice this week, including to a senior supervisor). even though my current problem is likely related to my past problems (repaired under both apple and retailer warranties), it's just unfortunate they say - and their quote to fix the problem is $100.00 more than my local apple certified techie shop!
