[QUOTE="Mama Luigi, post: 795625, member: 83273"] I think there was definitely some misinformation there. For one, of course some of the display models are damaged—naturally, they'd use unsellable ones for display since display models tend to get damaged. Also, the motherboard issues (particularly with older iMacs) have pretty much gone away. It's true that Macs have some hardware problems, but every manufacturer does. The biggest problem at the moment is that Apple's optical drives die a lot. I would recommend an extended warranty for any laptop unless you're planning on getting rid of it in less than two years. Why is it $450, though? Are you in Canada or Australia where they charge more for AppleCare? Because it should only be $250 or thereabouts for a MacBook. [/QUOTE]
