The 4 year support contact w&amp;#x2F; accidentally costs the same as 4 years of apple care, but Dell&amp;#x27;s covers everything except lost and  wore down batteries.&lt;p&gt;Apple requires that you book an appointment at one of their stores, go there, wait on line anyway because there are people who don&amp;#x27;t want to book online, have someone who can&amp;#x27;t fix hardware problems look at it, and then say they&amp;#x27;ll take it but you must give them your file vault password first.&lt;p&gt;Dell on the other hand after ten minutes of hardware troubleshooting on the phone comes on site with replacement parts. If they can&amp;#x27;t fix it they send it back for you, and you can request that they give you the hard drive in the machine before they send it. It&amp;#x27;s very excellent.</text></comment>

Is there anything you can do?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;When did you buy it?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Erm, around 6 years ago, I think.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Checks records&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;No problem, an entire replacement seat will turn up in a truck tomorrow. We&amp;#x27;ll fit it and leave your chair good as new. Have a nice day, sir.&amp;quot;</text></comment>
