I can't speak to the Apple store, but I do have years of experience with on-site repairs for both Dell and HP. Both Dell and HP business on-site repair service is really good (though I prefer Dell to HP). Depot warranties for consumers are horrible, no matter the company. I've been advising friends and family to purchase business-oriented equipment and pay for on-site warranties (for the intended duration of the lifetime of the product). It makes life ridiculously easier. Consumer warranties on PCs are universally awful in my experience.
