Way to get around paying for new macbook pro screen?

[nicknicknickh]

Hello! I am brand new to the forums and am getting a MacBook Pro next week I decided I would get it from Apple and wait 6-12 months to buy Applecare. Now suppose I were to break the screen is their a way not to pay 600-1000 dollars for a new one I found that outrageous and a inflated price.

Also here is what I'm going to be buying for my MBP over time.

Booq Vyper going to buy next week

A keyboard protector next week ( which one should I get? )

Maybe a speck seethru are they worth it I heard they are IMPOSSIBLE to get off? Is their an alternative?

Any other good things to buy?


I really appreciate you guys

You're covered under apple care during that 6-12 month period. Apple care is 1 year. And you're able to purchase an extension adding 2 years, for a total of 3 years.

You'll need some kind of alternative insurance plan. Renter's/homeowners insurance or a third party electronics insurer like squaretrade.

if you break the screen ... it is not covered by AppleCare

There is...add the MBP to your home insurance cover.

The only way to avoid paying for a new screen is by not breaking your screen.
