One Number to Call for Help
Get direct telephone access to Apple's own technical support group, the people who know your system best. Because Apple creates the computer, the operating system, and many built-in applications, the Mac is a truly integrated system. Just one phone call can help resolve most issues with your Mac because AppleCare representatives can help troubleshoot Apple hardware, the Mac operating system, and many Apple consumer applications, including iLife, iWork, Jam Packs, iChat AV, Mail, Safari, iCal, iSync, AppleWorks, and QuickTime.

Convenient Repair Options
The AppleCare Protection Plan ensures that Apple-certified technicians will perform repairs using genuine Apple parts. With this plan, parts and labor will be covered for three years from the date of purchase of your Apple computer, two years beyond the one-year limited warranty. This plan includes global repair coverage, which can be very important if you travel abroad.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 2 more years free of worry
I purchased Apple Care after owning my MacBook for 11 months and having had no problems with the computer. Because I'd had Apple Care for my first iPod and actually needed a replacement after the first year, I wanted to feel a little more secure about traveling with this laptop should a problem arise. Two weeks after the first anniversary of this computer, the hard drive crashed -- a first for me from which I learned to back up. back up, back up. I went to the Genius Bar where it was confirmed ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Applecare not the value it once was...
As a matter of policy, I've been getting AppleCare for my MacBooks for many years now. I had the hinge on one of my Powerbooks go bad and the screen tore right off the case one day. I sent it back to Apple and they fixed it right up no problem. Applecare really saved the day.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - No problem registering online
I have had Macs forever and I would never be without Applecare. I was reluctant to purchase this from Amazon as some reviewers had trouble registering online,ie having to fax a copy of the invoice, being told they should have ordered from Apple, etc. For the $60 savings over the Apple Store price I figured it would be worth any hassle. There was absolutely no problem and I received my plan certificate almost immediately via e-mail.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I hope that I will never need it...
There are a lot of debates as to the value of Apple Care extended warranties. In general Apple products are pretty reliable and such coverage is not needed. Ironically, right after I bought my MacBook and this warranty, my step-daughter's MacBook that didn't have coverage had a hard drive crash 13 months after purchase. Yes, I was able to simply replace the hard drive in her MacBook for as little as $120 with a new Seagate that had five times the capacity as the original, but I don't think the usual iPod ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good for peace of mind
This is great for peace of mind, but so far I never had to actually use it.
