I do wonder, though, if you're so used to Windows machines and their typically useless warranties, that you haven't quite worked through the fact that a mac is like a toaster in this respect; if it breaks in the first year, Apple will sort it out. (And you can buy Applecare for years 2 and 3 too). Macs do, in fact, create spectacular display effects. But it's normally a hardware rather than a software issue.
