Personally I found the painful part to be the long conversations with the Applecare guys in India, not the handing over the money part.
Oh wow..
Apple pulled tech support out of india a long time ago...

I've had many, many conversations with AppleCare over the past 2 years, at many support levels, and I've never once spoken to anyone outside the USA.Personally I found the painful part to be the long conversations with the Applecare guys in India, not the handing over the money part.
I have had AppleCare coverage continuously for the past 7 years and have never in all that time talked to an Apple tech who had a foreign accent.Oh wow..

Can you afford to drop $2000 at a moments notice for a brand new MBP if yours dies today?
If you answered yes, then dont but Apple care.
If you answered no, then it speaks for itself.
Any potential buyer of any form of insurance, including an extended warranty, must first decide whether he is welling to undertake the risk of the loss himself. If he is, it is called self-insuring. If you are comfortable with the idea of bearing the costs of repairing a MBP during the first 3 years you own it, then by all means avoid AppleCare. But if you are like me and not only don't want to bear the risk of such losses yourself but also find Apple's telephone support to be useful, AppleCare is the way to go.wow, apple seems to be having same isues over and over again. After spending all this money, you kind of have to get the warranty if you want to keep using your maching, I guess the price really is not 1199. but 1450. with apple care.![]()
