[QUOTE="traceyjj, post: 390716, member: 27458"] My son must be really unlucky. He was given a macbook pro (on the understanding if he could fix it, he could keep it) He was lucky, it needed no parts, so he fixed it. It ran for a year then broke worse than he could deal with it. On taking it to the store to get a quote on a repair, he was mugged/robbed at knifepoint... long story short, the insurance paid up for a NEW mac. He bought a 27" iMac, which was OK until a month out of warranty, and then some small issue happened, we couldnt buy the part to repair it, so it cost mucho £s to get it repaired. Then a year later the graphics card went on it. The quote from the apple store for a repair was more than the computer was worth, so he took it to a computer repair place who SAID they could repair it. The repair lasted less than a month, and cost over £100. In the end, my hubby managed to find a new graphics card online (why is it so damn hard to buy apple parts!) and my son fixed his computer. That cost a further mucho £s for the part... Nah, I wont be switching to Mac after seeing my sons experience. I could've bought 3 or 4 computers for the cost of his iMac! [/QUOTE]
