Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Because Apple makes the hardware, the operating system, and many applications, the Mac is a truly integrated system. And only the AppleCare Protection Plan gives you one-stop service and support from Apple experts, so most issues can be resolved in a single call. Extend the complimentary service and support on your Mac to three years from the original Mac purchase date with the AppleCare Protection Plan. You get direct telephone access to Apple experts for technical questions, and you get global repair coverage--including both parts and labor--for your Mac and select Apple peripherals.

This version of AppleCare covers purchases of the Apple iMac desktop computer.

Must Have January 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
If you buy an iMac, you should buy the AppleCare, it's that simple. For that matter you should but AppleCare for any Apple product you buy that it's available for. Don't gripe that the iMac is expensive enough and it should be included. Or if you want to gripe, buy it anyway. When I switched from PC's to Apple, I was like a fish out of water. I was on the phone quite a bit with Apple about the Time Capsule, Air Port, Apple TV, iPhone, iMac, MacBook, you name it. What's wonderful about Apple support is that it's easy to get someone on the phone pretty quickly, that speaks clear english, is knowledgeable and will stay on the phone as long as it takes to resolve your issue. When you know you have such a great resource at your disposal, there is no need to fumble around with online help or through manuals, you just pick up the phone. Ever try that with Dell?

Call Apple first... March 31, 2010
By A. Meit
Amazon Verified Purchase
Amazon is not willing to update the product specs about limitations in the fine print per each state use of the agreement. I had to get a full refund from Apple and buy it directly from them because Fla. wont allow applecare via 3rd party. Be warned. Call Apple first. Shame on Amazon for withholding important info.

Apple Cares January 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
AppleCare is worth the extra cash. With free telephone support that will walk you through everything, and then if that won't fix it, Apple will send an authorized tech to your home at no charge! And if needed replace the machine. I have not used it on this iMac, but I have used AppleCare for other items in the past.

Overrated but OK
Snow Leopard was easy to install. You also get 90 days Apple Care if needed. But I don't see a major improvement between Leopard and Snow Leopard.
