    You can take out applecare...it'll give you a repair warrenty thats worldwide for 2 extra years (3 total)

    It won't protect against theft, companys don't like insuring laptops as they can nicked very easily so its going to be either covered by car or house insurance depending on where it is.

    its not something that apple offer at all.....never have (to my knowledge)

    I'd buy a lock for the thing - buy one of the good kingston ones, the 'puter has the slot for it!

    Seems like a bit of a shock! You'll have to deal directly with an insurance company or a broker to get insurance.

    Congrats on your macbook!
