That was fast.

I sent my iBook to Apple on Wednesday evening to have the airport card and optical drive repaired. It was back just after lunch on Friday, fully repaired, with the hard drive’s contents intact.

I guess if you’re going to make computers that fail after a year of normal use, the least you can do is have an amazing, internationally-honored warranty.

This still doesn’t excuse the failure. I love my iBook, but will think very carefully before buying another one.

    With all of your experiences, you have me very
    paranoid. I’m expecting my iBook to croak or have
    to be repaired but it’s never given me any trouble
    and I’m approaching two years with it….maybe I’m
    just lucky?

    On the other hand, I had an iBook G3/600 (Dual USB) which lasted for two and a half years without a major problem. (I had to give it back to the university at the end of that time, which is why I’m not still enjoying it.)

    I’ve beat the snot out of my powerBook; I had to have train doors close on it before it would break. (that damage was not fixed free of charge) I had a problem with the CD drive after I shoved a bit too hard and something snapped. That was replaced free via AppleCare. I will absolutely get another powerBook when I’m ready. This one is 21 months old now.
