[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1006713, member: 45350"] Two things to consider here: 1) What is the real replacement cost for your Laptop . . . I might have missed it but I didn't see it in your post. $866 to repair a system you can replace for ~$1000 is an almost nobrainer. But if you have $2000 invested in the water damaged laptop I would go to the second thought. 2) What warranty comes with the Apple repair? If you get a full warranty you are as you mentioned, essentially getting a new system. My opinion, if you don't get a reasonable warranty and the cost to repair exceeds 50% of the cost to replace (unless money is exceptionally tight) I would replace. [/QUOTE]
