I'm quite interested in getting an official Apple-refurbed machine but the 1-year warranty on an expensive machine concerns me; this isn't a £400 beige box that if it dies in 2 years I can toss (or probably repair cheaply).
AppleCare has always struck me as a total scam but is that fair? Are there other companies offering a similar product? If it goes wrong - say it just won't turn on one day - what is the experience like?
Equally, if it goes wrong and I don't have AppleCare what are my options? Is it bricked or will Apple fix it for a reasonable charge?
As my main work machine, if it dies then every day without it is a big problem. As is having to traipse to another city to my nearest 'dealer'.
I've never had any specific insurance on a phone or PC to know what it's like - your stories are welcome
