AppleCare and the rMBP

ah snap. didnt read that part. well aside from the minor charge, square trade had a quick turn around for repairs. in which case $350 for 3 year warranty with accident doesnt seem too bad.

its still not the greatest compared to some mfgr warranties

SQUARETRADE

Coverage Amount
For replacement payments: You are covered up to the maximum value you paid for the item. Once we pay out that amount, your Care Plan is considered fulfilled. If you would like coverage on your new item, you need to purchase a new warranty for it.

For Repairs: The Care Plan is good for multiple repairs, up to the maximum value of your item. Once the cost of repairs meets the full purchase price of the item, your Care Plan is considered fulfilled.

now if a motherboard replacement is over $1K ( easy assumption as current MBP 17" exceeds this ) you will get one fix and second time prob paid out and told to get a new one

sofar HP business class here in Canada. ive only needed it a couple times on personal units, but one 8760w at work had had 5 repairs and 4 full replacements due to accidents when its been out of the office including drove over and smashed by a cement block.

they just show up in a day with a unit or the parts. the 4 year including accidental warranty is under $300 so cheap insurance

...Wouldn't that only be for HP computers?

I specified squaretrade vs actual manufacturer warranties in above posts. yes HP 3 - 5 year NBD w/acc is only for their business products

reread post 21 on

I've often considered adding this to my MBP. It's actually an insurance policy which covers stuff like fire damage and theft.

I would always go for AppleCare.

Once you're ready to sell your laptop in order to replace it with better tech, warranty will keep the resell value quite high - especially with Macs.
