To all those crying about not being able to fix it and "needing" to buy a warranty, I present to you this:
AppleCare is a 3 year warranty for $350. A retina pro runs from ~2500-3200. If one part is broken, they need to replace the WHOLE thing (according to this article).
So, $350 for a $3000 computer for THREE YEARS is a SMALL price to pay for YOU the consumer, and a huge one to Apple.
BTW I have a PC (HP envy) and any PC laptop I have owned has DIED at 2 years (no warranty).
Prices Per Year:
Apple - ~1100 (with warranty)
PC - ~750 (no warranty)
Food For Thought...
No way you could have taken it to a repair shop for $50... or fixed it yourself. I bet you didn't even try to reformat or replace the ram / hard drive. And what back alley store are you buying from that doesn't give you a manufacturer warranty?
BETTER BUY A MAC AMRIGHT?
