    MacBooks just keep getting better!

    Another MacBook Pro for the record books! This M1 machine is not only lightning fast but runs many applications (including Windows via Parallels) effortlessly even with only 8gb of RAM. It's extremely lightweight given what's packed in to the laptop. The "fanless" cooling system worries me a little bit as it can heat up quite a bit when in use, but I understand this is normal. My only complaint is the fact that (natively) only two external displays are currently supported for M1 Macs. This will hopefully change over time as when I use this machine docked, I would like to have the ability to run all three of my larger screens natively. A great upgrade from my '17 MacBook Pro and a welcomed addition to my Apple Family.

    I think the value is well worth it for this purchase, especially for the price of the computer I bought it to cover. This is my third MacBook and although they last years things do come up (I have held on to mine from 5-7 years and I’m not exactly gentle, my 5 year old computer still works great). When a part goes and can be quite expensive to fix and these things do happen within a 3 year period and are almost always more than the price of the care. Definitely worth it for peace of mind!

    I used to work at an electronics store and I cannot tell you how many times I saw customers come in with broken apple products, whether it was from their own neglect or some unforseen force, and it was painful to have to tell them how expensive it would be to repair or that there was nothing I could do for them if it had water damage. If they had only purchased applecare then it would either cost them nothing if it was not from their own neglect or just a little bit even if it was. People always think it is too expensive, but stop and think how expensive the product you are purchasing is and how much it would cost to repair. I'm telling you, it is DEFINITELY worth the extra money. I've seen too many people that I couldn't help because they didn't have Applecare so for your own sake please get applecare.

    When I went to purchase my daughter's macbook pro the sales associates told me it would be a good idea to purchase the Apple care which provides a piece of mind just in case you have to repair any parts on the computer or accidentally cracked the screen. With the Apple care protection you can take it to any Best Buy or Apple store where they can anything on the computer internal or external that is not working properly. Another good feature that the Apple care has is that you don't have to register your device anymore it will automatically be updated in their system through the serial numbers of the device.

    Apple makes great products and it is very unluckily that you will have hardware issues with any of there products, but for the cost to fix or replace them if in the unlikely event that something does happen, apple care is a great investment. Not only will they fix the issue or replace if they can't they have great tech support to help you through any issues that you may be having.

    ...for the unforeseen, unexpected, unfortunate "turn of events" when using a small, lightweight, compact and, let's face it, a not inexpensive piece of technology. Having the AppleCare+ agreement gives me great piece of mind. Frankly, I do not expect to use it, as the MacBook is constructed quite well, with durable components, but accidents do happen, and if one should occur, Apple will fix it for me.

    I usually don't buy protection plans because I feel like I never use them. My MacBook pro wasn't charging even though it was plugged in. Brought it to apple and it had to be sent out for repairs. Thank goodness for Apple care or I would've had to pay $475 for repairs. They shipped it out on Tuesday evening, it was back on Friday morning working like a charm.

    I bought this for my little sister as a gift because she was off to university. it been 2 years now and she still uses it and also it hasn't let her down. Say what you say about apple productions they are made to last. So I would advise to pay the extra money more a piece of electronic that would last and be useful with other apple products.

    Love Apple Care, in the past I have waived it because I did not want to pay the extra $200 something dollars but I don’t have the best luck with computers, thus I decided to purchase Apple Care for my second MacBook. About one year in I accidentally chipped the side of my screen, I took it to Apple last week and they charged me $99 to replace the whole display. The receipt given to me specified that without Apple care my total would have been $697.00 as with Apple care I was only charged the $99 service fee. I went in on a Friday evening and my computer was ready that following Tuesday! I got my Apple care worths and I’m still insured for another year or so. Extremely happy I purchased Apple care.

    The Apple care service need for global protection for me. Actually there are no big difference to buy it in Apple shop or best buy. But I searched that best buy has a cheaper price compare with the official. And of course, they have some free gift too. I don't think apple will free something for us.

    The last thing you want to think about when spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a new computer is an accident but it is certainly worth the money! My friend’s computer just stopped working one day and he has the peace of mind of having Apple Care so when I decided to buy a MacBook Pro, there was no doubt in my mind that I needed the AppleCare with it.

    They definitely provide you with the help you need. Needed to get my keyboard replaced and they did not hesitate or try to sell something else, straight forward repair. Granted this is also covered by the extended keyboard program, I believe the same treatment will persist into the duration of the full 3 years.

    When purchasing a new Mac, I was eager to get this plan because my other Mac had a tiny chip in the screen that ruined the whole thing. After it broke, the cost was way more to replace the screen than if I had had this plan. That is why it was a no brainer to get it on the new Mac I have now!
