It's possible to cancel it for a pro-rated refund, but they deduct the normal cost of any repairs you used. [23:52] IsambardPrince That's not the most horrible offer I've ever seen on a laptop warranty. [23:52] IsambardPrince One bad battery or cracked screen or liquid spill could easily cost you the whole laptop. [23:53] IsambardPrince Or at least the price of the warranty. [23:53] IsambardPrince I don't know how good the batteries are that Apple uses. [23:53] IsambardPrince There'd be less cycles put on them probably because they only use about half the power of an Intel laptop. [23:53] IsambardPrince That's probably where some of the profit margin comes from. [23:54] IsambardPrince It's easier to run a battery through enough cycles that you could invoke the warranty when it's a x86 Windows PC with shitty power management. [23:54] IsambardPrince If you manage to do this and have an extended warranty I'd query the battery health right before the warranty is up. [23:54] IsambardPrince You might get a free replacement just before it ends. [23:55] IsambardPrince That would at least put you level with what you paid for the Applecare. [23:56] IsambardPrince My guess is if even Lenovo can manage to put batteries in an Intel laptop that have 94% health after 4 years, then Apple doesn't have to cover too many batteries with the Apple Silicon processors. [23:57] lightbringer i suspect crApple gets crappy batteries that fell off a junk [23:57] IsambardPrince I don't generally like extended warranties because they build most stuff reasonably well to the extent that it will outlive the warranty. [23:57] lightbringer might be the reason their alleged phones like to turn into firebombs [23:57] IsambardPrince Lenovo keyboards tend to fail but they fail at year 4 or 5. [23:57] lightbringer (that and their aversion to hiring engineers) [23:57] IsambardPrince So you'd have no coverage even if you'd lost money on the warranty. [23:58] lightbringer funny, i only had one key fall out of one ThinkPad once and they fixed it under warranty [23:58] IsambardPrince I'd probably have to pay $150-200 to get the keyboard swapped on this thing. [23:58] lightbringer i still have a ThinkPad X60s (2006 model) with no problems with the keyboard [23:58] IsambardPrince Then when they're in there anyway they can do a battery for the cost of the part. [23:59] IsambardPrince It's a question of what the remaining value of the laptop is, and it's probably only worth about what it would cost to fix.
