Actually a computer "obsoletes" after 5 years (proprietary software), and there is no way to refurbish a "Mac". Don't know if $300 which extends warranty includes failures only (from 1 to 3 years, so that's 2 year extension compared to sale amount), or any damage (including fall from Empire State Building summit). For a desktop computer, other damages than failure rarely arises. So, RFY computer comes with standard parts (or parts coming from a large production, such as processor), and [documented] reproductibles modifications. If vendor or dealer fails, you can repair the computer elsewhere. Moreover it can be refurbished in order to extends its life. In France, dealer stores a large amount of parts or each to satisfy the 2 years legal warranty (on failures). What warranty extension never offers in France (generally for 1/3 of each value, which is statistically a mad) is data recovery. That would be interesting for something as sealed parts builded as a Mac. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
