Costco's regular member return policy is 6 months, isn't that enough? I still haven't heard a compelling argument for AppleCare, they wouldn't be selling it unless it was making them money. Seems like most computer problems are from operator error or reveal themselves soon after purchase, with people claiming some great failure to justify their purchase. But I'm all ears to AppleCare apologists.

I purchased a $1500 PC Notebookquite a few years ago. I did not purchased the $300 extended warranty. My motherboard when bad 11 months after owning it. If it went bad 2 month later I would have had a much biggest expensive than $300 dollar.

I remember spending £4k on a top-of-the-range G5 Quad & display and forgetting to buy Apple Care before the 12 months were up. Of course it failed at month 13 - logic board and a processor so I gave it away to a repair shop for spares. I learned a hard lesson that year!

i called best buy twice the first time i asked when the 15 inch will be in stock they said they had no idea when i called again a few hours later i asked the same question but the guy said this tuesday he also sounded like he was new to best buy so maybe he might of slipped the date out by accident. lets just hope it comes out the 13th.
 
I ordered on Wednesday, 6 days before the 13th....
It hasn't shipped yet, and it's Saturday. SHould I cancel and re-order on the 13/14th?

Nearly all of you are waiting for notebooks. Anybody certain the mini will be updated Tues?
Thanks.
 
YES Cancel.
We need someone to make fun of on Tuesday LOL.

I'm really curious about next Tuesday. My Macbook Pro is almost letting it's last puf of air, it's tired of 25 months work, 576 battery cycles and loads of uptime!

Better hope on quad processor and a price decrease.
 
Right...I bet my ****ing balls that it won't be released this tuesday.

Well, I must say: The first time I'm buying a MBP and it is the model that so far has been having the highest numbers of days between two models :D
 
a question guys, i got my Macbook Pro 13" for my bd march 25, if the new one comes out within a month, would i be able to return mine and exchange it for the one? the guy at the apple store said, 30 days warranty return no questions asked.

Apple's policy IS 14 days, not 30. Hope you got that in writing. :)
 
I was in bestbuy today, and some people were buying a macbook. Well they actually couldn't because apparently they are out of stock. I don't know if this means anything, but am completely looking forward to this... come on Apple!
