I suggest AppleCare from B&H Video - cheapest - may go 3rd party if you have no Apple Retail store / Apple Service provider near you.
Why is B&H cheaper? Is it the same AppleCare warranty you could get from Apple?
Yes, you can buy AppleCare at any time from any vendor that sells it. Whether your Mac qualifies for it is up to Apple, not the vendor.You can purchase Applecare at any time within the first year with Apple, but does B&H let you do that? I'm curious as to how B&H can afford to sell Apple products so much cheaper and even sell Applecare at a much lower price
Yes - exactly the same. Read the reviews - its 100% legit.
Purchased AppleCare for an old MBP there and also my iMac.
Thanks. After spending well over $1K on a MBA, AppleCare seems more than worth it.
