Applecare, like insurance, is hedging your bets. Could you handle having
to come up with replacement cost if your gadget were to fail? Apple is
betting that more often than not you'll never need AppleCare, or at
least the issues will be few enough to cover their costs. For me, for my
iPhone, I don't plan to do my usual 5-6 year life cycle so I didn't do
Applecare. While I wouldn't want to pay out to buy another one it is
something I could probably scrape the money together for. Not so much
with a laptop.

Thanks all for the feedback.
I'm definitely getting it for my Macbook Air.
So, am I to understand most of you have it on your iPhones as well?

Subject: Re: Apple Care Protection
I have nothing but good things to say about Apple Care. I usually
didn't get it for desktop models but always on laptops and it has
been worth it. My wife's MacBook had two hardware failures and both
were handled without argument and as quickly as possible including
direct next day FedX of a box to and from two locations to make the
repair happen. Only way it could have been made better would be to
either never have a failure (low probability in today's modern
machines) or lower the price on AppleCare. Everything else about it
was top notch.

Persoanlly I buy it everytime, its worth it as it covers hardware
failures, but also the software, so you can ring up and ask
questions like, how do I use iTunes, or how do I use mail etc.

Hi all,
I'm curious who has the Apple Care Protection plan and if you
recommend it?
I have a $100 gift card for the Apple store, so if I can use toward
the Plan, that'll drop the price to $149.
I'm kind of feeling like it is worth it. This is such an expensive
machine, so why not give it some protection for the next 3 years.
I get the one year limited warranty, so I guess I'm paying for the
editional 2 years. $75 each year? Lol, good math?
I'd still like your input though. Good idea, or nah, not really
necessary?
Thanks,
Traci
