This is my second MacBook and the second time I've bought the protection plan. Let's talk protection plan first. I generally don't believe in buying them. If you've done your homework, you should be buying a reliable product in the first place. But a laptop is different. It's an expensive piece of equipment that you are going to carry about, that's going to fall off the bed, that you might sit on, that the dog might drool on, well you get my point. I have to say that on the couple of times I did call Apple, they played the "call Bellsouth" game with me instead of not worrying about whose equipment was causing the problem and just trying to help me. Apple definitely has an attitude problem in my opinion. They act like they are doing you the biggest favor in the world to answer your questions that you paid for. I give the customer service a C.

As for the MacBook Air I have to say I was amazed. I thought I was replacing my dead MacBook with the same model. For the same money, Mac is giving you a bigger screen and more power. A real geek is not going to think this is a "pro" computer, but it has every bell and whistle I'll ever need and more. One complaint: the "Dashboard" that has the calculator, weather, etc. used to come up when you hit F12. Now you have to hit the dashboard icon, and two other buttons to see the same info. Not a good change. Also the size of the item on the screen changes during use and I haven't figured out why. Once safari just blinked out on me altogether. I don't know if these problems will continue or if they are temporary. They are another reason I didn't give a full five stars. But I'm enjoying the lovely screen and the improved sound.

I guess the main reason I bought it was for peace of mind and because I considered the price to be pretty good [$] compared to other places [...] which had the plan for around $200 at the time I purchased it. I have not used the protection plan up until now, since I have only had the computer for about a month...so I can't really comment on the service they provide. I guess the reason I gave it a 3 is b/c I wished they would provide additional coverage for accidental damage or water spills.

          An essential "accessory" for a Mac laptop that travels. Got a great price from B&H, and while I have already had to access support, it was with excellent results. The Mac support staff are pleasant, courteous and helpful.

              Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for MacBook, MacBook Air, & 13" MacBook Pro:

              Wow, this is about $100 cheaper buying from the USA then in Canada.

              I can 100% confirm that this product works to register Applecare on a Macbook bought in Canada. I had to ship it to family in the USA but it works perfectly!

              Thanks Bhphoto!!!

                            B & H offered Apple Care at an even lower rate once I added my macbook pro to the cart. Nobody beats the price. It is worth it just to know you can call someone for three years and get reliable advice.

                                                      I purchased a 3-Year AppleCare license for my MacBook Air.
                                                      Ordering was a breeze.
                                                      The price was incredible.
                                                      The product was delivered exactly when promised.

                                                      Who could ask for better service!

                                                        I have not had to use my AppleCare yet, but am glad I got it. I spilled a bowl of hot soup on my last macbook and did not have a warranty or anything on it. It may not cover that kind of liquid damage, but I rest easier knowing I have some protection.

                                                              While I am aware that Apple gets good reviews on their service, I have had mixed response to service needs with prior MacBook Pro; they never fixed a USB port and then time ran out and they did not answer calls. I also think the price Apple asks for a three year Warranty on their product is too high; in fact, I would prefer a free one year warranty similar to what other computer makers offer. Still, because computers develop problems, it may be something where you bite the bullet (as I did) and purchase this.
