I tried to find just an Apple Store here, but no go, only Best Buys carry Apple computer locally. Kinda gay. I remember an Apple store in San Fran that was pretty neat.
I just wish I could find somewhere in writing that said the Apple Care would cover accidental damage too.
When I google "applecare covering accidental damage" I am overwhelmed with "
NO!" as the answer.
For 400 bucks ontop of an already over priced piece of hardware I should get sucked off for needing to have anything fixed in the first place.
Best Buy guy said he could throw in mouse pad but thats the only deal he could do. A fucking mouse pad. And if I could get someone with a valid student ID I could get 100 dollars off. But then everything would need to be in that persons name.
Dell this morning as the Kiosk at the mall said he could get me the computer I used above plus upgrade it to 4gb ram and a larger 7200rmp drive for the same 1800 tax and shipping in.
I fail to see how the applecare could be better when they specifically dont cover accidental coverage.
I bet if apple had a sale, 50% off for a week, that they close the market share gap between mac and windows pretty damn good.
I do want the MBP, but seriously 800 bucks to have a heavier, slower computer just doesn't make any sense to me. I mean sure there are quirks with Vista, but not 800 dollars worth of them, as for the most part I never have problems. My uptime is usually only interrupted when the breaker flips and my UPS runs out of juice before its turned back on.
