People need to stop being such cranks. Iterative improvments are going to come along.

Um. So I'm not saying there couldn't be a better Finder, but... is that really all the guy can find to complain about?

I would say applecare is important for laptops, less so for desktops.
― Ed (dali), Thursday, 23 June 2005 04:34 (eighteen years ago) link
AppleCare is pretty essential for laptops. They're expensive, they get beat up, and if the screen fails you're already way ahead of the game in overall cost.
I've actually had to use it once and it saved plenty of time being able to leap-frog ahead to the front of the support line. To be fair though, if I don't have my laptop I'm not able to work at all - making that "does it pay for itself" question pretty easy to answer.

Agreed. My solution was to buy a g4 tower on eBay. I think there's a sweet spot in price/performance right now from the "Digital Audio" models up to the early Mirrored Drive Door g4s. Unless you're doing really processor-intensive stuff, they should be snappy for a few years still. The last batch of g4 towers are still overpriced on ebay, though.

AppleCare almost pays for itself in resale value for laptops even if you never need them to replace the screen or anything.

Listen to what I am going to say very carefully: I. Poured. Beer. Into. My. Powerbook!
And Renter's Insurance paid for a whole new one WITHOUT raising the premium! Everybody - Renter's insurance WORKS! It is good! I could kiss them!
So maybe I don't need Applecare anyway.
