I am hesitant b/c I've heard of them causing problems after 9-10 months and I was told I would need to get an extra $200 warranty. Is this true?

If you don't, you're fucked. Take it from someone who lost his warranty-less Macbook Pro about 17 months after purchase.
They're great, but buy the warranty. Always. |

Verify with the sales rep that this is still possible, but it if it is, don't buy it right now. Wait 11.5 months and then shell out. |

|
Date: February 7th, 2010 2:11 PM Author: Amber submissive resort becky titcr You can extend 11mos 20dy into the purchase by buying AppleCare at that point. However, statistically speaking, extended warranties are always a waste. It wouldn't make economical sense for a company to offer extended warranties if they lost money on the deal, and warranties are a zero-sum game. |

Date: February 7th, 2010 1:58 PM Author: hot disturbing mexican NO viruses
I never did get the logic behind this argument. If your so worried about viruses why not opt for linux which lies at the end of the spectrum that are OS. When it comes to OS there's only 2 criteria, compatibility(windows) and safety(Linux). Mac lies in the middle of these 2 criteria and as such is worthless imho.
Better to get an Asus UL series laptop that comes with an awesome warranty of the bat and lower cost. |

|
Date: February 7th, 2010 1:56 PM Author: Cordovan center Do you have to get applecare right when you buy your laptop? Or can you get it before your 1 year warranty expires (so you're protected for 4 years)? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1215013&forum_id=2#14042629) |

apples customer service is comparable to a bag of assholes |
|
Date: February 7th, 2010 1:58 PM Author: heady half-breed multi-billionaire no, i believe it is an option up until original warranty expires. . . but you still only get the benefit of 3 full years, (not 1 year + 3 more) however, if you buy multiple items (macbook, ipod, iphone, time capsul) and you purchase applecare at that time, it would apply to all items. If you buy it later, it only applies to the single item you are putting under extended warranty. |
|
Date: February 7th, 2010 1:58 PM Author: Bright Cuckold Step-uncle's House go to teh apple store and ask. i bought mine when i bought the laptop so i dunno. i'd recommend playing around with a few macs at the store itself. see which you actually like before buying.

|
Date: February 7th, 2010 3:26 PM Author: confused multi-colored location that's fine, as long as you're talking about current models. knowing how well a discontinued model worked is irrelevant since dell's quality is not uniform and varies from model to model.

|
Date: February 7th, 2010 3:28 PM Author: confused multi-colored location fair criticism, but cheerleading dell's current lineup on the basis of one relatively trouble-free latitude is kind of disingenuous since there are really BAD problems with other dell offerings at the moment.

Date: February 8th, 2010 4:18 PM Author: confused multi-colored location most people think sometime this quarter, most likely in february. there are rumors of macbook pro supplies being constrained, which usually signifies a launch of a new or an updated product, and a small rumor is spreading that they'll be quietly updated tomorrow.
the thing is, most macs are prebuilt before ordering, so users can experience the their new purchase the same day they buy. so if the macbooks pros are refreshed soon, i would wait a week or two and gauge its reception. while this tactic may miss potential long-term problems, short-term issues may be uncovered, and there are enough people who will benchmark it and test it so that you get a good idea of its capabilities and limitations, so it's still worthwhile to wait.
i don't know if the regular macbook will be refreshed soon or later this year. core 2 duo technology has run its course, and it is unlikely it'll stay in the macbook for long. |

btw lenovo customer service PWNS applecare. on-site is fucking awesome. you can call them with any type of trivial problem, e.g. a couple dead pixels on your screen or a stuck "PgUp" key, and they will send a dood to your place the following day to fix it. |
