Although people may still say that, also a myth. I was just as easily, if not more easily, able to take apart my first macbook, which was actually the first notebook I had ever attempted to work on internally, and found it super easy. I replaced the entire keyboard area of mine with the black one since I got tired of the staining issues, and replaced the bluetooth wire since they were having issues with the way they routed the original. It was super easy. But obviously for those that aren't used to digging around in the internals of a computer, yes, you would have to try to find a speciality shop that actually has people "smart" enough to work on a mac.
I think they've just been so over-hyped that people don't really realize that they're just computers too, same exact things in both to make them run, Apple has just found a slightly more efficient way of doing both the hardware and the software side of it. But down to basics, they are the same.
Also, just throwing this out there, there ARE supposed to be viruses out there for mac, but 1. they actually seem to make the news of any tech website the day they show up. 2. they usually only end up on your system if you've been naughty and are downloading things that you're supposed to pay for. Considering the OP is talking right from the beginning about buying the software, I don't see him in danger on that front. And even for someone like me that downloads absolutely everything I can get my hands on because I'm poor, still no viruses
But in summary, yes, it is still best to get yourself a good extended warranty unless you are used to doing the hands on tearing into computer work yourself because it can be more difficult to find a repair shop that can do it, and when you do they charge more than the
thing is worth in the first place just to get it running again.
