have been stellar service at high prices.
I've had to send in my TiBook thrice for repairs.
1) Broken latch - warranty repair - called Tuesday, box arrived Wed - sent Wed, back Friday!
2) I dropped it - my fault - broken hinge - called Wed am, box arrived Wed noonish - picked up Wed pm - back Saturday! Cost: outrageous at $600+! (much of case was replaced though - lesson is always buy AppleCare for laptops).
3) Couple months later I noticed it was not possible to remove battery - dropped it at Apple store Thursday - picked it up Monday. No charge.
The repair service for laptops is stellar. The cost is pretty high but this can be mitigated by purchase of AppleCare.
