iMac warranty

Friend of mine bought the 27" i3 iMac around 36 days ago, now it will not switch on.
What is legal position, can he get a brand new replacement or have to wait around for repair?

Without AppleCare, which gives 3-yeaar warranty service, he has 90-day warranty service.

That's misstated (at least I'm guessing it's a misstatement) and misleading. Apple gives a one-year warranty on all iMacs. They provide only 90 days of free telephone support, but the warranty doesn't end when the phone support does.

Cheers.

baltwo miswrote: there is no "90 day warranty" except on repairs on a system that is otherwise out of warranty. Your friend's new iMac has a full 1-year warranty. It is at Apple's option whether to repair or replace the system; this long after purchase Apple will almost certainly elect to repair the system.
