Hi there,
Congrats to your friend on her new purchase. I am sure she will be
very happy with it. I certainly have enjoyed my 15" Al PB since
purchasing it in 2003.

hi folks,
a friend just bought a new shiny 15" G4 and we have a couple of
questions to
get started:
- filling in the registration at startup and sending to Apple is
enough to
have the PB registred (with serial Nr., etc) to her name for all
purposes?
Or is something else needed?
Registering the PB with Apple basically allows her access to her
complimentary 90 days of phone/tech support. After that, if she
chooses to purchase Applecare, she would have a total of 3 years of
phone support available to her in addition to having hardware
coverage for the same amount of time. However, she has a year in
which to purchase Applecare.
- I think I vaguely remember somebody mentioning additional
services for
registering the Serial Nr. There's such a thing? If yes, does it
make sense?
(we are in the UK)
All I know of is the Applecare plan which is directly connected to
the serial number. When you call in for tech support of any kind,
they will normally always ask for the serial number before they
answer any questions.
- Battery: there was some advice for getting started on the right
foot with
the battery. Was it charging up for some time, or discharging it to
the
bone, baking, freezing,
I have had my PB for over two years now and initially was instructed
to leave it unplugged and run the battery down to where you get the
reserve battery power warning. Then turn it off and plug in the
power, allowing it to charge until full (the color on the power
adapter will go from orange to green). Then I just started using
it. I am still impressed with the length of use I get on each charge.
I am not sure if anything has changed with the new PB's, but this
would be a good opportunity for her to call Applecare and ask
whatever questions she has about getting started. After all, It is
free for her for the first 3 months.
