Think twice before buying an Apple machine for your photo work

An iPad purchased by me a year ago stopped working in May 2012. Apple, by necessity, replaced it at its Reston, VA store. That brand new replacement iPad failed again in just 4 months (Serial number DKVHG0MNDFJ0). The Apple store in Reston VA refused to fix or replace it, hiding behind a claimed "3 month warranty for (new) replacements. (ref. its store manager, Ingrid H.)
Anyone thinking of buying an Apple product should decide for themselves if they want to buy a product from a company that refuses to replace it a mere 5 months after it was obtained new from that company.
