Laptops too

after hearing of so many problems with the ipod batteries and harddrives after a year or two, i wasn't about to pay $500 on something that could crap the bed in a year or two. I bought mine at best buy, and bought the extended service plan, I believe it was like $50 for 4 years or something like that. Depending on the price of applecare, that may still be a better idea. anyone thinking of getting one should definately check out best buy

Sounds like a good idea.

:D

i just hope its not 300 dollars!

The biggest misconception about AppleCare is that it provides insurance style "coverage" against accidental damage. It does not.

It covers manufacturing defects in year two and three of ownership. The better part of it is getting extended, free technical support phone calls. That normally runs out after the first 90 days. With an AppleCare Protection Plan, you get free phone support for the rest of the first year AND the next two years.

It's a good thing and Apple's pricing is amazingly reasonable... as little as $169 on the eMacs & iMacs.

Maybe this is the new $749 product that's been recently rumored. :D

Is this a US only service?

Until Apple confirms this, I suppose we will have to assume it is.

We all know what Apple are like when mixing services with countries outside the US borders.

:rolleyes:

LOL

Actually, a friend was looking for an iBook and was shocked to find out that AppleCare costs a quarter of the list price...

Good one! :D Yeh, I assume the prices for AppleCare will be different than for other products, but hopefully they will change in the OTHER direction!
