Applecare - Yay or nay ?

OU812

Bought two 15" retina MacBooks for work. Didn't opt for the applecare on them as funds were very tight at the time & have them about a month now.

Is it worth or recommended getting them ?

If so, are there ever any bargains to be had ?

Unless you need the telephone support, not really. You’re protected under consumer law.

With MacBooks I'd say it's worth it. That being said, my MacBook was a 2006 model with removable battery and mechanical hard drive. AppleCare paid for itself there when I ran into issues with the charger, the drive packed it in another time and the battery packed it in another time. The battery was a real weak point on that generation by the looks of it. I went through several. I'd say it's well worth I tif you can afford it.

Probably in a position to pay for it in a couple of months. you have the year, right ?

Know anyone who'd insure them ? I tried gadget insurance.ie but they don't do business insurance
