Some people sell their old macs for parts you might want to check ebay. installing those is not too difficult.
I made a mistake by not getting Applecare. It was my first Apple: I didn't know how expensive replacement parts are.

My Mac broke after 2 years and 4 months. The replacement logic board would have a 90 day warranty--the risk of the machine breaking again...?

As far as short term productivity is concerned, staying Mac would be smarter. However, expensive parts, a $300 upgrade, and a general opaqueness and unpredictability doesn't inspire confidence. Tough decision.

Thank you for the insight.
