Apple Care

Can you purchase this any time within your first year to extend your warranty? Is it the same price later as initially?

Check ebay, you can typically get it for a substantial savings.

I got applecare for my mini for $80 and one for my wifes macbook for $130.

Thanks for the tip....I had no idea you could get it indirectly.

if you can't do this, apple has good education discounts on applecare if you attend/work at a school.

How can you buy it off of ebay? I thought this was straight from Apple and Apple resellers?

well Apple and the retailers just sell you a box. Inside is the code and all you need to sign up for Applecare. All you need is this box, and it's perfectly fine to sell them on ebay.
