    I would. But you have a year to purchase it after you buy the MacBook.

    Well judging by my experience, yes. Click my sig and read my review if want to see the trials and tribulations I have had. The good news is that Apple has been very helpful the whole time.

    worth every penny, because apple products are not that durable. They got good build quailty but they break easily.

    It's just where its a new product and theres a few bugs. It's still worth it to buy the Applecare though.

    I didn't get it yet, I am going to get it a few days before my Free first year expires. I mean, if you spend so much on a something like a laptop, might as well spend like 200 and get 2 years of warranty.

    Yup, I'm gonna get it when I get my spring semester financial aid disbursement. Only worry is for rmost people, that you will have it for a few months, the forget about purchasing it.
