refurb MBA apple care?

[dinaluvsApple]

is it true that if i buy a refurb'd MBA from apple that i can extend the 1 year warranty anytime during the first year?

because im currently short on funds and want to buy the refurb model because of huge price drops.
i really dont care for the new models because for me its just purely for word processing and internet.

thanks for your time

wow thank you.
also from what iv'e read, the newer mba has shorter battery life.
so buying the older one seems so much better to me.
is this true?
