    In Ireland there's no fixed amount of time a product should last. A warranty is on top of your consumer rights. So if something that cost you €1000 breaks within 3 years you can argue that you would expect it to last longer.

    Where are you getting this from ? Never heard anything like that before

    As said above though, it can sometimes be a lot of hassle getting retailers to comply. If you can afford it, Applecare is worth getting just for the convenience.

    How many people here have had a HDD or any component or whole machine break within 3 years?

    I know it is very very possible especially HDD and motherboards, just curious.

    I've had a HDD failure on my first plastic macbook and a logic board failure on a MBP.
