Im thinking of buying a MBP 13.3'' 2.53Ghz sometime today as I can hopefully get a deal through a local store here in town as they might match the Apple.ca prices (Due to sales) or I can either order online from Apple.ca and try to also get a student discount. (I don't think its worth waiting for 3 months or so for updates from Apple as your always gonna be a step behind)
My questions are....
1. Is it worth paying that extra couple $$$ for warranty or Applecare?
2. Can I buy Applecare/warranty lets say 7 months down the road if I notice my Mac has been having many problems and I don't want to take the chance or not being covered?
All Mac's come with an 1 year standard warranty and a store here in my town will offer an extra 2 years for $249.99 CAN or 3 years $299.99 CAN. There's also the choice of 4 years for $399.99 which I think is ridiculous unless you plan to keep the Mac for longer then that. This is there coverage and not through Apple, so no sending away, they fix or replace at the store.
Myself I usually will end up selling my laptops within a year as I prefer to always have something different or try to stay up to date with some of the new technology.
So I don't think its worth paying $249 or $299 more for warranty if Im the type of person to sell my laptop usually before a year or just right after.
Am I thinking right? lol
Some advice would helpful!
Thanks
