I am in the market for a new MacBook Pro and price is very important. I have been considering the 2.9 GHz i7 13 inch due to its price when I discovered a local reputable company selling a Late 2011 15 inch Pro (2.4 GHz i7 model) for the same price. From all indicators it is new and not refurbished.

What I am wondering is if AppleCare is still an option for one of these if it is purchased from a merchant other than apple this late after being released.

My initial thought is that it would still be eligible for AppleCare.
 
applecare is an option until 1 year of original purchase date (if used not your date).. you can do a serial check online. More then 1 year and it's too late.
 
Great! So if these are in deed new, then I would be able to treat them the same as if I bought them from and Apple store.

Thanks

What about if I have to wait to get the AppleCare?

If the Mac still covered under its original one-year warranty (which I'd assume it is, since it's a late-2011 model), Apple will still service it. It's no different than buying a computer directly from their stores.

Thank you. That clears it up for me.
