Service Dpt. got troubles repairing my mac and give me alternative options.. What option should I choose? Help!

I got a MacBookPro few months ago (October 2011)
                   17-inch, Early 2011
Processor  2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory     4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics   AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Software   Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
But for multiple issues I had to take it back. After several repairs, they offered me the three options below as the 17-inch MBP is discontinued(?).. Which one should I choose?
The main reason I want a 17-inch screen is that I am working with graphics and also I move often, so I can't afford carrying an iMac around.
1. Replace the unit with this 15-inch Macbook Pro - this would take approximately 2 weeks to arrive
15-inch MacBook Pro
• Part number: Z0MV
• 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
• 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
• 128GB Solid State Drive
• SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
• MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
• Backlit Keyboard (US) & User’s Guide (English)
• Accessory Kit
2. Replace the unit with a 15-inch Macbook Pro Retina - this could take approximately 4-6 weeks
15-inch: 2.3GHz Retina display
2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB flash storage1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
3. We repair your unit in store as soon as possible.
Can you help me out please?
1) I am afraid that if I choose the third option, I won't be able to fix my MBP in the future in case that there are no spare parts (for example, if I get problems with the screen).
2) I don't understand how equal are the three models based on their prices...

"Another reason that makes me worry, is that I may go live in a country which doesn't have an Apple Store. (but they do have Apple representative suppliers)."
Then what's the worry? Consider how long you intend to own this MBP. Figure 3 years. Buy AppleCare to make sure you're covered.You're obsessing about an issue that may or may not happen. This is just my opinion. The other opinions are, from what I read, based upon what each poster wants, not what you need. You've got to assess your own requirements.

    You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
    As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
    IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

    And will the thievs be able to purchase things from itunes or adobe with my cardinfo? I have a password who comes up overtime i download anything, but i never used itunes on buying things. I just registred there.

    What is iCloud, and did you ask Apple about their "I" product? (The Cloud is not iCloud, whatever that may be)

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Adobe (this is an open forum, not Adobe support)

    For anything else, contact your credit card company and have a new card issued if you had any information on your stolen computer... and go to ALL of your online accounts and change your passwords

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.
         BPW
      (Also, try to edit your second post -- black out your last name on the screenshot and re-post it for others)

  • Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

    Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

    Most Adobe software is written for one of two platforms, Mac or PC.  In order to switch platforms you need to be using the most current version, so CS4 would not be supported for making this switch.  Here is a link to a page that explains the requirements for switching platforms....

    My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    Put it in a bag of rice or silica gel. Leave it there for a week. Do NOT attempt to power it on or charge it before the end of the week.
    If it still doesn't work after that, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • I cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys..

    i cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys.......

    First off, you need to post in the correct forum.   10.9.2 is not the same as Mac OS 9.2. (12 years separate those two).
    I'll ask this thread be moved.
    Secondly, look at your Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us what you have now.
    If it is some version of  10.8, you can upgrade to 10.9, and then 10.9.2 free:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6131
    If it is some version of 10.7, check the system requirements for 10.8 first, to determine if you can go straight to 10.9, then 10.9.2:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
    If it is some version of 10.6 or lower, read this tip:

      Please help me
    <Edited by Host>

    Assuming that you mean iCloud (I don't know what you mean 'issuance of the two is the seventh kind'), then when are you being asked for it and is it your iCloud account's password that you are being asked for or did you buy the phone second-hand ? If it's a used phone and the previous owner left it linked to their account then you will need to contact the previous owner, only they can remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
