Hello all,
So this is my first post on the forums. I have been lurking around here for a of couple months trying to decide which size to get. I finally decided on the 15'. My new dilemma is where to buy it from. I know buying from an Apple store would be my best bet because I would be dealing directly with them, but Best Buy has that accident protection plan thing. From what I've read, the Apple Care doesn't cover physical damage caused by user if I am correct? Any threads I've found on this topic are way back from 08 so I would like some current info. Have any of you purchased your Mac through Best Buy along with the protection plan? Sorry for the long post, thanks for any advice.
 
Thank you for the links, I apologize for my apparent lack of deep research.
 
If you are a student you should buy it from apple during their currently running back to school promotion. You get a discount on the computer for being a student and a free printer then a free iPod as part of the promotion.
You can get accidental damage protection elsewhere besides best buy such as home owners insurance, your credit card possibly and squaretrade.
 
Best buy has a trade in program and the values for apple stuff are pretty good. Good for a next purchase
 
amazon! no tax! especially if u live in california like me where tax is 10%!

Lol I love the way people think 10% is high tax. its well over 20% in some EU countries. I think Norway is like 50% of something.
