Apple's out of the box warranty is superb. If it breaks in the first year, take it to an Apple store. They will replace it. Most consumer electronics fail out of the box if they're going to fail within a normal lifespan. Try 'fixing' your car these days. The era of the backyard mechanic fixing the family sedan has passed as has the days of anyone even thinking of using a soldering iron on a bit of consumer electronics. Build your own PC from scrap parts at Fry's? Sure but you end up with a sCrappy PC too. The price point of this bit of Apple tech is such that the bench fee wouldn't justify just pitching it and buying a new one.
