That's absolutely right.
Personally, I prefer a Mac for a different reason. When I had a PC, taking my computer to class was a drag. It took forever to get out of sleep mode, I had to shut down programs when I wanted to quickly transfer it...plus PC's tend to have a harder time running as many programs as I (and many college students) usually have up. (Think Microsoft Word, 10 webpages/pdfs for different sources, itunes, aim, facebook...can't be productive all the time...)
With a Macbook you just open and close it, everything stays the same. It's faster in terms of start up/shut down, and you can run more programs seamlessly. In terms of what you're practically using it for, I just prefer a Mac.
That's pretty much right on about the service...just about any non-Apple tampering with an Apple product invalidates their warranty. Chances are you'll know someone with a car, so it's oftentimes as simple as being like "Hey next time you go to the mall can I tag along and run to the Apple store?" I took my roommate many times, and just went shopping while she sat around with the tech people. No big deal.
