Back in the summer of 2006 I converted over to Mac and I have never looked back. Yes, it was an expensive transition. And in those days I was totally broke, but I knew that it was truly an investment and I would be happy with my decision later. And now, two and a half years later, I have a house full of apple products (including the iMac, time capsule, and oh-so-fab iPhone) and couldn’t be happier! In fact, I get kind of annoyed when asked to work on a PC these days. And now, just when I thought I couldn’t love Apple any more…. this week made me a true convert for life!
Why?
Well….for a few reasons.
I had an issue with my MacBook about three months ago and when the keyboard pallet got a tiny chip in the corner. Luckily I purchased the apple care (3 years for under $200 – TOTALLY WORTH IT). Took it in and it was replaced. Free. My invoice actually said $0.00. Love it!
Then this past weekend my battery died. And my charger was fried. I knew this problem had been around the corner because my cable was totally beat up. So what did I do – made an appointment for the Genius Bar. Fifteen minutes later I walked out with a brand new battery and charger for nada. Kinda feels weird walking out of a store with a bag full of goods without paying, but in Apple world that’s just a way of life
Finally – my poor iPod Nano. Well, two weeks ago I threw it in the washer with all of my gym clothes. Somehow it made it into the dryer too. Ooops! I just knew I wouldn’t get lucky for it to work again – especially since this is the second time I have done that. (i know i know i know!) But I just laid it out to dry and a couple of days later I was back in action! Now that’s a quality product!
So – what have I learned?
- Check pockets before doing laundry!
- Warranties CAN be worth it
- Apple totally ROCKS!
- I will *happily* never own a PC again
- If you read this story, skipped past all the links, and still want to stay with your PC – um…well…it’s Christmas and I’m going to be nice instead of naughty….
