No. Your warranty with Apple starts the day you purchased your Mac not when you decide to register it.
No, your warranty starts from the date of purchase, whether you register or not.
So when i purchase from the authorized sellers, they already put it in apples system?
No. The way you register is by sending them your reciept. They will see the purchase date
All warranties begin on purchase date, regardless of if or when they're registered.
so i just registered my mbp and i entered march 27th as purchase date. why would it say Estimated Expiration Date: March 27, 2012. i bought this the 2nd day it was released.
It will if you entered it as the sale date, but if you get warranty service you may be required to produce the receipt. Since it wasn't purchased from Apple it wasn't entered at time of sale is all. Subsequently you may have to prove warranty via a receipt if you need repair..
