I had the AppleCare plan on my Powerbook G4. The laptop was 2 years and 9 months into the warranty when the hinge loosened up. The lcd lid would wobble back and forth about an inch. Not a big deal but since I had the warranty I sent it in for repair. Three days later it came back with the hinge tightened up but a couple weeks later it was loose again. Sent it back again and this time they replaced the hinge and three days later it comes back with a new hinge. Unfortunately in transit some dirt had gotten behind the LCD panel and so back it went. This time on the fourth day I got a call from Apple saying the new replacement LCD panel was delayed and asked if I wanted to wait or accept a brand new MacBook Pro instead. It took me all of about a NY minute to make up my mind and I'm now typing this ion a brand new MBP. The initial frustration was minor compared to getting a three year newer laptop with twice the RAM and HD space and, four times the processing power.
Apple then called to say that the remainder of my AppleCare warranty on the old computer would be refunded. I don't know how their math works but I was refunded a third of the AppleCare Plan cost. As I said, I only had three months remaining. I used that refund and applied it to a new AppleCare warranty for my new MBP.
I am still amazed at the turnaround time for the repairs. Three days from my door to my door is incredible.
Three Thumbs up for AppleCare. |

If you get a Mac laptop, in my case a MacbookPro; you need the AppleCare.
Repeat, you need the AppleCare. Same goes for the iMac. I used to think you didn't need it for a tower; but I may rethink that.
My only pick this time around is that the TechTools app that comes with it does not work "completely" with the 2.6 GHz model MBP. Whatever completely means.

| Always buy this whenever I buy a laptop, since laptops have such an immense amount of micro engineering and gets a lot of mobil use. Worth every penney if anything goes wrong with the laptop. I've used AppleCare in the past and have never had a problem with them. |

Normally rating a product, based on anything other that performance, quality etc.. is something I don't do. My One Star rating is strictly based on Amazon's delivery time. Until you actually receive the package and activate it. the product is worthless. Amazon's delayed delivery and my stupidity are equally at fault.
I had been saving this in my cart for months. I purchased my laptop at the end of May 2007. Not wanting to put out $299 before I needed to, I decided to order it from Amazon a month before my original warranty expired, not realizing that it could take TWO MONTHS to receive and activate it. Of course that would be too late.
I called Amazon the other day when I realized this, and asked if the warranty would be in effect as soon as I ordered it and was told that I would have to wait the two months or so to receive it and then and only then could I activate it. Bummer because I have been thinking of ordering it since I first bought my laptop last year. This one is $50 less than the cost at the Apple store. I thought that I had plenty of time ... that error cost me an additional $50. Fortunately the Apple Store is only about 20 minutes from my house. The early bird catches the $50 worm. Order in plenty of time, probably at least 3 months in advance, just to be sure. |

This extra warranty helped save my powerbook! My powerbook had a broken trackpad after almost 3 years of working flawlessly. By purchasing this extra protection, I was able to fix the trackpad without any hassles. I highly recommend this for anyone who buys a laptop, since laptop repairs can become expensive. Fortunately, most cases, you will not ever have to use this since Apple products are pretty reliable.
Pros: Service, Protection
Cons: Sometimes steep price. |
