Applecare - buy now or later?

[Chic0]

So if you have liquid damage you lose whatever is left of your free AppleCare or your paid AppleCare. That's why it's suggested you leave using paid AppleCare until your one year is nearly up.

AppleCare is premium support. Not only do you have parts and labor covered, certain repairs, they might be more lenient in repairing rather than writing it off as operator error.

Thanks guys.
Yeah think I going to wait until next year before buying applecare.

Think I've been lucky so far in that my last two powerbook never had any problems, so have never bought applecare before.

Just need to make sure I keep my cousin away from my new mbp. He poured coke onto my powerbook, which is main reason why I need to buy new mbp!

If you can afford it, buy now. Better tech support. If you want to save some cash, buy later before your current warranty expired.

You just have to make sure you don't wait too long. They will not give on the date...even if it is a few minutes past midnight.

I bought mine when I ordered the system. The AC paperwork arrived in the mail on the same day my Mac came.
