Davy, I got a replacement screen for my MacBook Air as mine started to get a little lose after much ware. I dropped my MBA off at my local Apple Store and they had it fixed next morning.
Also, many people are actually able to get replacement products on the spot when visiting Apple Stores. Finally, those who do need to send their products away usually find that it is not uncommon to have turn-around times of exactly what you saw with your Toshiba. So the idea that Apple takes weeks and weeks is again, untrue. Again, this discussion about how long it takes for Apple products to get repaired / replaced seems to come from a lack of good info. Just wanting to be clear here, not being argumentative.

The only thing that needed servicing, after two years, was the keyboard - Q9 and Pipe2 had me hittin' that Control key and spacebar a little too much. I arranged pick-up on Friday, they came to collect on Monday, and came to return four days later. Meanwhile I could track the repair progress, and all was covered under warranty, including the pick-up. Next I wanted to replace the RAM and HDD. I believe I had to unscrew three screws to do that. To top it off I can connect anything from USB to FireWire, SD-card to PCMCIA-card, 1 Gbps Ethernet to oldskool modem, dock to eSATA. That is why I chose this machine. I can't afford to be without a PC for a few weeks and/or spend a good deal of money or shipping or repairs. To me, that is one of the concerns with Apple's default warranty: it falls short. Of course, so do most consumer Windows laptops, that's why I avoid them.

I don't believe they're up there nowadays though, as they've mostly thrown their consumer products to the wolves and that includes all the gaming machines. Now the new hotness appears to be Lenovo, at least hardware wise. But I no longer trifle myself with such things, as all my machines are (obviously) all now Macs. :) Cheers, Sabahattin --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
