Nope
You don't have to but it'd be silly to not have 3 years warranty on these purchased, and student discount allows you to get it for significantly cheaper than others.
As of June this year, the three year warranty is no longer included for free for students. So buy AppleCare if you want the extended coverage.

The bigger stores are stocking the following BTO models:The question is do stores carry BTO models?But I've decided I'll wait on mine to arrive... It's not like it's going to do anything different than my 2011 MBP (with 512 Gb SSD, 16 Gb RAM and 1 To HDD)...
- 13"/3.3 i7/16GB/512GB Space Grey and Silver
- 15"/2.9 i7/1TB/AMD 460 Space Grey and Silver
Going to head to Brighton later.
I'd be tempted to swap to a 15" as long as it's not substantially bigger and heavier. Also has to fit in my bag. If it won't not interested.
I might go for a storage or processor bump on the 13 if they have stock.
We have until January right? Due to Christmas or not for exchanges?

What level of storage did you go for? I tell myself to get the 1TB because why not? But really 512Gb is probably enough. You can get portable 1TB SSDs for less than Apples upgrade price from 512Gb to 1TB giving you an extra 512GB of storage (512Gb internal + 1TB external SSD).
I know the SSDs in the new Pros are really fast so would I miss that?

I have literally just got back from Brent Cross where I picked this exact model up. Drove there on the off chance and am very happy!
Really sorry but I didn't ask!
I asked him for a 'specced out 13"' and he said that they had one but not with a TB of storage.
Anyone know when the 'store pick-up' stock is updated?
Checked this morning and my local store had a 15" available for collection today. Just checked again to order to pick-up tomorrow and it now says 'Available January'..... guessing they sold out?
Worth waiting until tomorrow morning or just going to an another store an extra hour away with stock?

They only confirmed having the 512GB storage. They told me if I want a 1TB then I'd have to order online...
If it's one with 512GB then it will have the lower processor and graphics too, i.e. a stock model. Not all stores stock the BTO models and the ones that do will obviously sell out at some point.
I hope you guys mean sold out for today. More tomorrow right? I saw it available in the morning and pissed I didn't buy it then.
I went and checked out the 15 inch and although it is smaller and lighter than the previous generation it is still too large for my bag I carry around and I don't want to change my bag. I am trying to reduce weight not add to it!
I do fancy a better spec version of the 13 if I can find it.
