Mac Pro--buy now or wait for "fixes?"

[ziwi]

Back on topic: I've deliberated over this matter myself for a few weeks now and even after I ordered my OWC memory which hasn't shipped yet, I still have reservations about jumping in with the reliability of the MPs. That said, I won't get anything done sitting on my arse and hands so I'm going through with it -- today.

Good for you...what did you order? 🙂

I picked it up from the store but it's good since I always intended on getting the standard, so that's what I got.

It's quite a work out carrying just half a block. I'm still throbbing like you get after an intensive work out at the gym.

Just to add another data point ...

I have owned/used maybe a dozen Macs over the years, never bought AppleCare on any and never had a single problem.

Your mileage may vary. 😉

I reason that even if you *do* have a problem it's likely to happen in the first year of use, so AppleCare is just an extra expense IMO.

I agree. My problem people like t evangelize about AppleCare like it's better than your standard warranty offered anywhere else which is absurd. At any rate, I won't be buying Applecare for this unless it goes through a lot of hiccups from now until Jan 30th 2009. 😛
