> It is reasonable to keep up-to-date with Mac hardware if you use computers a lot. If things go wrong, it is far easier to take the laptop to the Genius Bar than options for other laptops.

To be honest, the best service I so far was with my Lenovo machines.. Next-(work-)day technician on site, whether I'm at a customer or at home.

Now with my MacBook Pro with Apple Care they have to send it in to replace the screen.. (According to the Apple Store personell here at least)
