Apple's Good Reliability? Part 2.

I took my iMac to the shop this weekend to get repaired and was pleasantly surprised to find out the failure was covered by an 'extended warranty program' Apple started in August. Not sure how I missed that announcement, but I was happy I wouldn't be dropping $310 to fix my machine. This leads me to wonder about the quality of the parts Apple has been purchasing and/or the long term reliability of their hardware design. Recently it seems every month Apple is announcing another 'extended warranty program.' It's no secret Apple likes to design virtually everything in their boxes, but one has to wonder if it wouldn't be worth scaling back some of their designs in order to use standard (read: tested, reliable and cheaper) PC parts. cheers, will comments posted at 12:30 PM Comments:Post a Comment |
