[QUOTE="MacMarc, post: 1224574, member: 193393"] I just bought an early 2011 MBP, 15 inch, and did not opt to get the Apple Care extended warranty. I have used Dell and HP laptops since late 1998/1998 and not once did I have an issue with any of those within the first 3 years. This experience includes my Dad's laptops as well. Now Consumer Reports rates Apple as BETTER reliability than Dell and almost all the others. One exception is Toshiba. Reading this thread makes me think that Apple has a poor reliability rating. So poor that you wonder why you buy their product. My plan is to not get the extended warranty and if an expensive repair happens, I will just head back to a PC laptop for the cost of the repair. $1000 for a repair is just insane. [/QUOTE]
