| 522433 | 2007-02-06 10:05:00 | and once the warranty expires? seeing as an astounding 5th of their machines seem to fail within a year, i don't fancy their chances after the 1 year warranty period has expired | motorbyclist (188) | ||
| 522434 | 2007-02-06 10:16:00 | Apple care warranty can be purchased in flavours of 1-3 years. The initial 90 day factory warranty is OEM. With regards to your comment of a 20% failure rate of Apple machines, that info is proabably from a site that is trying to highlight a worst case senario to produce F.U.D From what I have seen around the net, no manufactured electronic device is perfect although some are better than others. |

Even among first-year systems, 14 percent needed repairs. i was only 6% off;) |

| 522436 | 2007-02-06 10:33:00 | I was more just clarifying your statement than trying to prove a point. Apple is a company that has to make a profit like any other. Due to the fairly frequent hardware refresh cycle of their product range a choice of 1-3 years is fairly reasonable. Hense my mention of F.U.D | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 522437 | 2007-02-06 12:07:00 | These day's I would do my own research into whatever it is you want to buy, as I feel not all but most of them are hopeless and will tell you whatever to sell you the product. | GhostBuster (10141) | ||

| 522439 | 2007-02-06 19:06:00 | Do I understand correctly? Apple has only a 90 day warranty. If you want longer you have to pay for it! Or have I misunderstood? |
