What happen to Applecare?

[ucsdmac]

My current mbp (only 5 months new) has applecare on it.If I sell it and buy a new mbp..can I transfer that applecare to the new mbp? thanks

I don't believe that is possible, but having Applecare on a machine is a very good selling point and should be a featured item when selling.

EDIT: BTW- a quick phone call to AppleCare will answer the question with more certainty than we can too!

Agreed. AppleCare is tied to the machine.

Apple will only transfer AppleCare to another machine if they replace your machine during a repair.

The AppleCare will transfer over to the new owner of your machine.

You can also request a refund of the Applecare, which is a pro-rated refund less the cost of any Applecare you have used.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

I always sell my notebooks so the AppleCare is a selling point, but it's still good to know.
