[QUOTE="tsq, post: 1124316, member: 175321"] Hi all, I'm thinking of switching to a Mac. The only thing is, I don't know if I should buy it in my home country where it would be cheaper (due to the exchange rate) or in Australia where I'm studying. I went through the terms and conditions for AppleCare and the warranty should be valid in Australia even if I buy it in my country. But, the only Apple service centres around where I'm studying are authorised resellers. I'm not sure they'd be very happy if I had a problem and took in a machine that I didn't buy from them. I don't know if it's possible that they might try to screw money out of me or deny me service, even if I had a valid warranty. Obviously I'm going to be more reliant on my Mac in Australia -- should I buy it there just to be safe? I don't want to though, cause it's vastly more expensive. :Grimmace: [/QUOTE]
