For many first time Mac users who are about a year into their purchase of an Apple hardware, this question begs some long and hard decision making: Why should I buy an AppleCare?
I’ve got to be transparent and say that of the five Mac systems in our household, only one is with AppleCare, which was renewed fairly recently. It’s the most powerful unit of the bunch, one that we firmly believe should never go without the insurance now.
See, we almost didn’t get one for it. We almost let the expiration of its first-year warranty pass, thinking it’s going to be a pretty useless expense. AppleCare costs anywhere between P12-16K, perhaps even more. For most Mac newbies like us (we just got acquainted with Apple for a little under three years) if you look at it from the angle of how much you have to shell out for extended warranty now, without actually ever getting the immediate benefit…then it does feel like it’s a waste of money. It does feel like you’re being suckered into buying an invisible item that’s unbelievably expensive.
It’s a good thing we changed our mind.
So, what prompted the change?
Should Nintendo and Sony be threatened?
This could be a start of a new fashion trend.
In my sharing of information and knowledge with people from different online communities, I have discovered that there is a good number of interested audience out there who are very keen on improving and tweaking their Mac laptops, or just simply interested with what I have to share about it.
