Should I buy AppleCare+ for MacBook Pro?
Buying a MacBook Pro at Costco ($1800). Should I buy AppleCare+ for $219 for 3 years includes accidental damage (Costco discount rate) Yes I can afford to self insure but would feel pretty bad buying a new computer again shortly if an accident happens. Edit: I travel moderately 4-5 trips/year. I plan on taking it to coffee shops often Edit 2: Buying with C1 Venture X Visa Infinite Card What’s the rational/financial savy thing to do here?
if you need to buy the extended warranty, you can’t afford the laptop. i bought it once 10 years ago and then found out it doesn’t cover water damage from something like an accidental spill
Get a nice credit card and buy it on that
Always.
If you need to ask, then answer is yes
Exactly. Peace of mind is worth more than $200. If you had to as, you’re gonna be stessin’
No
If you just keep it home then don't. If it's your primary machine and you travel a lot, are clumsy, then yes. It's like term insurance, mostly goes unused.
