Hardware Testing the MacBook Pro

Just realized in a couple of days I’ll be out of warranty on my main laptop for the first time in years. I usually get a new MacBook Pro every nine months or so. But this past year has been an odd one, with Apple’s release schedule and my own needs not lining up as usual. So I think I’ll be sticking it out with my current 15-inch unibody for now. Though I’ve been missing the 17-inch screen since the day I bought this thing, I really hate buying a laptop in the middle of the release cycle.

Anyway, thought I’d run Apple Hardware Test on it, just in case. Still have a few days to take it in for a genius appointment and get it repaired for free if anything tests negative.

Apple Care? I considered it, but I doubt I’ll have to hold on to this one for much longer than another four or five months.
