[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 795760, member: 3850"] Fact 1: Apple has very low margins compared to some manufacturers, so if that salesperson works on commission, it's not necessarily in his interest for you to switch. Fact 2: The salesperson has doubtlessly been instructed to not let a customer purchase a computer without an extended warranty. 2 reasons for him to fabricate stories about dying Macs. Here's an interesting report: [url=http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/19436/]MacDailyNews - Apple Mac tops comprehensive computer reliability report by wide margin - again[/url] EDIT: Just to clarify: Apple itself has much higher margins than the industry. But as a 3rd party retailer you don't see much of that. [/QUOTE]
