UberMac said:Oh yes, I know what Applecare is. Usually Applecare is just called "Applecare" though. Is this just the same thing with some crazy name? I'll also point out that all purchases on the UK edu store come with 3 year Applecare free anyway...

UK Education Store only:
1 year warranty
90 day telephone support
So same as Joe Schmo public gets.
UK Higher Education Store only:
3 year warranty on laptops and desktops
1 year telephone support on laptops and desktops
Can upgrade to AppleCare at a discount, for 2 more years of phone support.
There's no exclusion of warranty transfer on either of these in Apple's terms and conditions.
WildCowboy said:UK EDU purchases have the standard three warranty now, but it's not AppleCare. That option adds the AppleCare phone support to the standard warranty. That's why it's cheaper than you'd expect AppleCare to be.
It could certainly be explained better on their site though...
