Hi,
I am using Mac Air for last five years and had been happy with the smooth performance (in terms of no virus issues, no unwanted crashes, and no data loss most importantly). However once it had been out of warranty period (after 3 years), it started giving me trouble with hardware issues. First issue was something with logic board (motherboard), service center guys didn't hesitate to ask 48k to replace the board, and that was the moment I realized why Apple is expensive (not to buy but to maintain). Well, got it repaired for 5k from outside. Then it worked for a year, again got it repaired for 5k last month. And day before yesterday.. again had to sent to repair shop. Well, that's the story, liked the hassle free performance, but scared of repair expenses.
Now I guess is the time to switch. First suggestion needed is.. whether windows based laptops are able to offer similar reliable performance. And how can I sell/exchange my Mac Air for best value.
I will post my requirement once we first finalize whether it would be a Mac or Windows and how to get best value of my existing Mac Air.
Thank you.
