I think you guys have talked me into it.....

I was thinking....Apple....Quality product.....no need to buy extra warranty.....

( I hate those buy extra warranty that basically covers you for NOTHING)



Have many of you had to claim under Warranty?


I guess it could be a good investment?

if i want to get the macbook pro, just only can use macbook pro and it unable use the macbook ..

You need the right AppleCare, for the right machine.

If you have a MacBook, buy the iBook/MacBook one (iBooks are PowerPC/older than MacBooks, if you didn't know).

If you have a MacBook Pro, buy the PowerBook/MacBook Pro one (PowerBooks are PowerPC/older than MacBook Pros, if you didn't know ).

I have. Many times. AppleCare is a MUST for laptops. I have never owned a Mac desktop so I can't say, but I've owned PowerBooks, iBooks and MacBooks... (one of each ) and will be getting my first MacBook Pro sometime this year.

In any event, I have had to claim at least once, over the course of 3 years. Either the battery, or the logic board, or discoloured wristpads, etc... laptops are more fragile and take more of a beating so you'll need it.

As for desktops, it's up to you. The cost of labour and parts alone have covered the price of admission for me, over 3 years.

BUY IT! I have a PBook G4 and it is on its 4th motherboard now. I would never buy a mac without the warranty after my current laptop. GOd knows how much it would have cost, since all 3 repairs have been in the 2nd or 3rd year of my laptops life.

BTW my laptop is in immaculate condition for a 2.5 year old laptop i treat it very well, and the faults where never due to my bad hyandling but it has still had issues.
