It will take them 2 weeks to ship me the replacement from Singapore
Anyway, I am more than impressed with Apple's warranty support
Thing is things in India tend to be different than what posting on the web (mostly US centric) would lead you to believe
If you look around the net, most people diss Dell's support while praising Apple (which is very true for US)
In India though, Dell' warranty shines though with the onsite support and professional attitude
When I noticed this glitch on my system, I was worried that Apple India support will turn out to be screwed up
I was more than pleasantly surprised to find out that's not the case.
In fact, their L1 support team is better than Dell's since the reps are (seemingly) not mandated to read out from scripts (like Dell) and are empowered to take decisions on the spot.
Anyway, seeing the quality of their support network, I got an extended 3 year warranty package on the machine
(Lack of onsite support - unlike Dell is a bummer though)
