All I'll say is... your Mac motherboard goes down (although they call it a logic board.. it's still a motherboard) ... well.. you're paying through the arse for a new one.

nope, will be free for me... i always buy the extended warranty... gives a total of 4 years coverage for anything that goes wrong. well worth it. anyone in business professionally, who bases their livelihood on their computer, should be doing the same.
no.. i didn't.. you apparently read quite selectively.. and have little to no ability to discern the difference between me stating opinions and yourslf stating "facts"... very self-serviing attitude.
but yeah. i guess i've just been lucky... nevermind that in my circle of peers they must have all been just as "lucky" as me... chatted with Sneap on cam-chat yesterday... we both commented on how we're both still using the same laptops from over 4 years ago when i was at his place helping him out during the Nevermore TGE, and The Clan Destined album sesssions, and how neither of us feel any need to upgrade as our machines are still kicking ass and doing the job, even with the latest software updates... the mac lappys are still handling it fine. yeah.. he's just lucky too. him, me, and every working engineer i know... or at least the 90% of them that use Mac.
i don't doubt you've had loads of mac repairs.. but just as many??? i call absolute and total BULLSHIT on that. not unless you worked at a place that an apple store referred a lot of out of warranty business to. the tiny market-share of Apple compares to windows-based PCs would make that an impossibility even if macs were the worst POS ever manufactured.
also i'll add to Mesa that average consumers that do not use their computers professionally take far less good care and maintenance of them.
it was less than 10% of the computer cost... well worth it.
So... how much?
well you get one year w/o the warranty, so i waited until it was almost up.. and bought the apple care.
*sigh*
