[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 484975"] But then again, you still have old Power Mac G5s, G4s and G3s, clamshell G3 iBooks, Pismo PowerBooks, etc. being sold on eBay. Those are 5, 6, 7, even 8 years old and they still work fine and can be sold for a nice sum. What if after 7 years of use one of those breaks, should Apple still replace a dead part free of charge? Just for my peace of mind, each time I buy a new Mac, I get the extended Apple Care warranty so I feel safe. Some will say it's a waste of money but then again if something fails, I am covered. If you're not covered the only thing left is to hope that you bought a Mac that has a recall program for a widespread problem (which doesn't happen a whole lot) if something should go kaput. So I agree with Bry and trav. [/QUOTE]
