After a decade of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and Airpods, I finally joined the MacBook club and a got a new retina air ($999 at MicroCenter). I've always had Macs for work (in advertising), but had PCs at home.
Should I add Apple Care for it? I've never had or needed AC for any of my Apple devices, ever. And the credit card I used to buy the MBA doubles the warranty (I know this doesn't cover accidental damage). I don't plan on traveling with it, or even leaving the house with it (that's what my iPad is for). I get use a corp discount to save $50 on AC. Just not sure it's worth it.
Also I was nervous about getting the 128 SSD, but after loading up all my files and programs, I still have 80GB free. Music and photos are in the cloud, so I should be ok, right? And honestly if I have an extra $200+ to spend, I'd rather get more storage than AC.
