Eligible models include:
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)
I used to be a Free Software fanatic (and still prefer to use it when feasible). But Apple stands behind its products like no other computer company (see also its battery replacement program) and frankly, I've been craving a Mac lately (currently using a Dell Developer Edition and a self-built desktop, both running Ubuntu).
I think I'll save up for a Mac Pro since the RAM, graphics, and SSD (not to mention screen) are relatively easy to replace or upgrade.
- remir 8y agoIf you're interested in the Mac Pro, you should wait until Apple unveil their new model. They said last year they were in the process of redesigning it.
- killaken2000 8y agoThey stand behind their products and all it took was them getting sued first.
- Rjevski 8y agoHonestly, it's still better than nothing. Apple is obviously in the wrong here and they had to get sued before admitting the mistake, but it's no worse than other manufacturers. At the very least, once Apple admitted it, the replacement experience is usually pleasant and takes a single appointment at an Apple Store. Compare that with other manufacturers where you have to ship the machine to some service centre abroad at your own cost and wait god knows how long before getting it back.
- hocuspocus 8y agoWith a $2000+ laptop you should really get an extended warranty, and all serious manufacturers send a technician to you. Having to go to a physical Apple store implies that there's one nearby.
