Ironically one of the reasons I was buying macs in the mid to late aughts was the apple store combined with apple care. I knew that if there was anything I could not handle I just had to go there and it would be taken care of. I stopped doing macs when they reversed course when the apple stored told us power cord fraying was our fault and they would not fix/replace along with going from high powered machines with tons of ports to minimalist designs that got rid of everything but touchscreens (or so it felt).
