A:AnswerAll Apple products come with a 60-day AppleCare warranty. If you have the TotalTech package membership, they threw in 3 years of AppleCare+ for free. If you want to get a TV mounted or have some other use of BestBuy's package, its very much worth it. I got AppleCare+ for free with a recent MacBook Air because I had it from a TV purchase/install. So, you should ask about that to see if it works for your situation.
Side note: I got this MBA before the new MBP M3s were out. I love my fan-less MBA, but i'd of probably paid extra for the MBP M3, if it was an option then.
A:AnswerI hope this helps.
Similar to previous years, the M3 Pro and M3 Max return to both the 14” and 16” Macbook Pro featuring 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1, Magsafe, and SDCX card reader. A Macbook Pro with the M3 Pro chip can support up to 2 external displays and a Macbook Pro with the M3 Max chip can support up to 4 external displays.
A:AnswerNot sure if this answers your question or not but I have included some information below.
The M3's Unified Memory Architecture is similar to the M2 generation; M3 SoCs use 6,400 MT/s LPDDR5 SDRAM. As with prior M series SoCs, this serves as both RAM and video RAM. The M3 has 8 memory controllers, the M3 Pro has 12 and the M3 Max has 32.
A:AnswerFor light to normal editing yes, for when you need to store a lot of raw files having more is better, but I recommend the 512gb and getting 1000gb to 2000gb external hard drive for like $40 and storing the files there, I use mine for extreme photo and video editing and have no issues with 512gbs because I have the external hard drive.
A:AnswerYes, the chargers for MacBook Pro models sold in the United States are generally compatible with 220V power sources. They are designed with a universal power supply that supports a range of voltages, typically from 100V to 240V and a frequency range of 50Hz to 60Hz. This means you can use them in countries with 220V electricity by simply using an appropriate plug adapter for the specific country's socket type. However, it's always a good idea to check the specifications on your specific charger to confirm.
A:AnswerOpen-box Macs are usually reset to factory standards. Apple-refurbished Macs come with the same warranty as a new Mac. When I have purchased open-box Macs from Best Buy, if there was an issue with the warranty already being activated, a call to Apple usually solved it. Making a copy of the receipt and sending it to Apple (after the phone call, of course) will take care of it.
A:AnswerThe factory warranty is a limited one-year warranty on very basic defects and usually does not cover accidental damage or theft.
You do not have to buy Apple Care right away with your purchase, you have 60 days from the purchase date to add apple care to the device. You can do this from your device or you can go to an Apple Store and add it in store, you'll just need your device added to Find My so they can pull your serial number. You do not have to have the device with you.
You have the option of purchasing - Monthly, Yearly, or 3 Years. The 3 year option saves you around $30. Apple Care is available to extend after the it expires but only for a limited time.
I would suggest getting apple care on these larger investment devices. Just in case something happens you'll know that you won't be paying the retail price to replace it IF even at all.
A:AnswerThe basic Apple work suite, including mail and photos installed, plus you can download pages, numbers, keynote, iMovie, and even Xcode from the App Store for free!
A:AnswerIf you're looking to order a different keyboard then you'll have to order directly from Apple. If you have an Apple ID already then you should contact apple via the support chat for them to custom order you one OR to show how to order one through their site. Generally different language keyboards are not available in store due to demand.
A:AnswerYes. I believe there is a 60 day window after original purchase to add the extended warranty. You should be able to do it from the computer itself.
A:AnswerFrom everything I have researched, it should be. Make sure they are comfortable with it. Also, make sure they don't stop the updates. Mac is a GREAT APPLE, but it's a VERY DIFFERENT world from the alternatives. Check out my review on the laptop to understand what I mean. I felt it was so unsafe for me, that I ditched my other computers and all the other tablets, phone, ect. Honestly. God bless you and your family. You are a good parent to be concerned.
