Had my first one 15 days after 1 yr guarantee ...went to apple store....almost 50 miles away...... Busy!! Anyway, was told it was dead and they replaced it for a nominal fee......but, they would not sell me the extended warranty and only guaranteed it for 90 days......."that is policy". Was only explanation I was offered.......over a yr ago.......still working, but I wait for the day it dies...then I buy a Microsoft whatever it is called ............I don't live on this thing so I really don't care...
