Warranty apple store, product bought elsewhere

This is from the Apple website:Your Apple-branded or Beats-branded hardware product (“Product”) is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase (“Warranty Period”) when used in accordance with Apple`s user manuals (refer to https://www.apple.com/support/country). Under this warranty, you will be able to direct your claims to Apple even in situations where you purchased the Apple Product from a third party. If a defect arises during the Warranty Period, Apple, at its option will (1) repair the Product at no charge using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2) exchange the Product with a product with equivalent functionality formed from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability or with your consent, a product that is at least functionally equivalent to the product it replaces, or (3) refund the original purchase price. This warranty excludes normal depletion of consumable parts such as batteries unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship and, damage resulting from abuse, accident, modifications, unauthorized repairs or other causes that are not defects in materials and workmanship.

The Apple warranty is world wide. If the warranty is in effect, Apple will service the warranty. If it is out of warranty, Apple will fix the MBP but you will be required to pay for the repairs. The original point of purchase is immaterial.

Ciao.

If you purchased it on Amazon, then you must deal with them for warranty work. Same whenever you buy Macs from resellers.

Take it to an Apple Store. If I'm right once they check the serial number they will tell you to take it to the reseller for service. If I'm wrong they will service it for you. Or call them and ask the question.

Chris, if you post a link to the iMac you are considering perhaps someone can advise you on the merits of purchasing it from them vs. Apple.

There is nothing wrong with purchasing from Amazon but Apple may have a better deal, especially if the one you are considering is already discontinued or used. "Amazon Marketplace", if that is what you are considering, isn't much different than eBay. Both have policies that strongly favor the buyer, but neither source is an ideal place to purchase a Mac for a number of reasons.
