Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The AppleCare Protection Plan (M8853LL/B) extends the 90 days of complimentary support and one-year warranty for your MacBook Pro or PowerBook to up to three years of world-class support (from the computer's purchase date). The AppleCare Protection Plan covers your Mac, as well as an AirPort Extreme Card, an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, and Apple RAM purchased for your Mac. Mac mini customers can also register one Apple display for coverage, provided the Mac and display are purchased together.

Purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan along with your new Mac to take maximum advantage of the coverage the plan provides. No other service and support program can provide peace of mind for such a small investment.

Because Apple creates the computer, the operating system, and many built-in applications, the Mac is a truly integrated systemÑwith vastly superior support. Just one phone call can help resolve most issues with your Mac. The AppleCare Protection Plan provides support for Apple hardware, the Mac OS, and Apple consumer applications, including iLife, iWork, Jam Packs, iChat AV, Mail, Safari, iCal, iSync, AppleWorks, and QuickTime.

Comprehensive service and support:

• Extends telephone support from 90 days to up to three years
• Adds two years of hardware repair coverage to the one-year limited warranty, including global repair coverage for portable computers and Mac mini.
• Provides dedicated access to web-based support resources
• Includes powerful diagnostic tools (TechTool Deluxe from Micromat)

Coverage Information

• To qualify for the AppleCare Protection Plan, your product must be within its one-year Apple hardware warranty.

• Onsite service for desktop computers is available within a 50-mile (80-kilometer) radius of an Apple authorized onsite service provider in the country where the plan is purchased and enrolled.

With Apple, you gotta buy the warranty. Not much choice. Don't want to be without it.

As with most apple products quality is not an issue. Apple stuff just works and if it doesnt and your not the only one with the issue... apple will take care of you. My experience with apple is this... if it is going to break it will do it within the first year. If it does not break it will last you at least 5 years before you have any issues with it. Even then some units apple has fixed for us outside of warentee and made sure that we were taken care of. Now with a laptop however... these things are tough but the traveling and constant useage can take a harder toll on them than the normal desktop units. It is well worth the extra few bucks to get this! I waited untill I had the money of course and then bought it here at Amazon for a speedy purchase. Amazon made it possible to get this faster than any other method i had available to me at the time. Thanks to them my powerbook 17 inch is safe for a few more years... I dont expect any problems with it however. After all it is a Apple product.
