I'm leaning towards getting the base 13" MBA upgrade to 4GB ram. This would bring the price to $1399. AppleCare @ $249 an 18% cost, pretty pricey for a warranty, although not as bad as the 25% cost of the base 11.6". I typically get AppleCare for my new Macs (got it for my iMac and my original MBA) and haven't needed it yet. Both of those had issues but the issues happened during the first year and after thereafter were fine.
I realize AppleCare is a personal issue where individuals must evaluate cost vs. piece of mind, but with this MBA it doesn't seem like there have been any major changes so am I correct that I may be a little safer passing on AppleCare this time around? I figure any faulty parts would likely rear their heads in the first 12months.
Thoughts?
