Apple does not warranty their machines for more than 3 years so be aware if your machine fails at year 4 or 5 the repair costs could be high depending on the issue. Dell does sell service contracts for more than 3 years, however they are more expensive and may not be available for all makes and models. Make sure your purchase the service contract that is appropriate to the length of time you expect to have to keep your Windows machine. It is never a good idea to buy a computer without a warranty.
Macbook Air
Please be aware that we do not recommend the Macbook Air as a primary laptop machine due to its weak WiFi performance and limited number of ports. It is an acceptable second laptop for travel as long as the user understands its limitations and potential connectivity drawbacks. For light weight primary Apple laptop solution, we recommend the current 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display. At 1 pound heavier than the MacBook Air it has the performance, flexibility, and functionality of a full blown laptop.
