[QUOTE="badshoehabit, post: 1635171, member: 210116"] The logic board on my 2011 15" MacBook Pro failed after 18 months and Apple replaced for a much reduced price. As an alternative I was offered a package of a new notebook + 2 years Applecare at about £400 off list price. I refused, not wanting to spend another £1000+ after such a short time. When the replacement logic board failed four months later it was replaced FOC and was then covered by their 2-year warranty. It rattled my faith in Apple computers but, fingers crossed, the notebook (I later upgraded the RAM) is still performing well. It's always worth bargaining with them on price and ask how much they will knock off for a new computer instead. You should also weigh up the difference between the cost of the repair (which in UK would have a two year warranty) and another notebook, Apple or otherwise. [/QUOTE]
