If it were desktop computer, I would probably not purchase an extended warranty, but for notebook computers, iPod Touch, flat screen display, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this extended coverage, especially when it's 30% cheaper than MSRP. what bargain!
I have owned several PowerBooks/iBooks and have purchased applecare for all of them (in comparison, haven't bought AppleCare for desktop). If you have even one repair on one of these things out of warranty, you will make up your purchase price. and for items that have little ventilation/heat sinking capabilities (laptops, iPod Touch, etc), risk of something going bad within 3years is pretty high. I have had to get my Powerbook repaired three times (bad optical drive, bad keyboard buttons, etc), iBook once (case cracking, dead HDD), iPod Touch twice due to bad battery life and intermittent power, and the display repaired (power mangement unit died). Every time either Apple would repair it, or replace the unit with either new or refurbished unit, no questions asked (unless there is obvious signs of abuse). You can take it to any Apple Store, or call their 1800 number and have them send you a shipping box. Turn around is typically 3-4 days (!!) from the time you call them and have your part back in your hands.
Included in the hardware warranty is if you have any Apple OS issues or Apple software install/operation issues during the warranty period, you can get free service via phone to help you fix the problem. Best service ever.

I now have 3 fairly new apple products and thought I'd better get it t if I need help on something one day. So far I've been able take care of questions on my own. I think that for a laptop you might need more help than with the other products. It's a good three years and BH takes out a bit of the sting with their better price.
Lower price w/o tax rocks
Will I ever use it.....?

Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for 15" & 17" MacBook Pro:
To buy an expensive Macbook Pro and then not get the extended Apple warranty is a big mistake. Problems rarely occur during the first year of operation. The second and third year are another story. I see this sold everywhere else for the full $349 price. It was [$]normally and when purchased at the same time as the Macbook Pro it was only [$]! No need to ask twice, this is an amazing deal. And it is the real Apple warranty!

Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for 15" & 17" MacBook Pro:
I always buy AppleCare for every single one of my Macs. With complete coverage for 3 years at the prices B&H offers these warranties for, you can't go wrong!
Every single experience I have had with Apple service has been excellent.
And B&H's prices are the absolute lowest. B&H is the only place I would buy them from.

Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for 15" & 17" MacBook Pro:
I managed to get this on the day right before the original warranty expired. The price of AppleCare at B&H is the best. The AppleCare is essential for Apple laptops as anything can happen to them on the road. I benefited from the coverage for my Powerbooks and MBPs a lot in the past. Highly recommended. Get it before your original warranty would get expired!

Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for 15" & 17" MacBook Pro:
Although I had a little issue registering the AppleCare, I called Apple and they were able to register me over the phone (a total of 15-20 minutes, after being transferred to proper rep).
I had bought my MBP from an authorized reseller site. Apple didn't have it in their system. But, Apple was able to look up my order number and was able to fulfill my registration with no issues/problems.

Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for 15" & 17" MacBook Pro:
B&H is awesome for pricing. However, the 3 year AppleCare only extends the primary year coverage for another 2 years. I find that a bit deceptive, but I am aware that this is of Apple's doing.

Comments about 3-Year AppleCare for 15" & 17" MacBook Pro:
Protects your investment on your MacBookPro for 2 additional years. Not that I wanted to spend this money on protection, but laptops tend to fail after a few years, and in that case, having it covered will pay it off.Buying on B&H got me a good deal (around $100 chepear than [@]) and I got the same product. B&H shipped it promptly as usual.You basically receive a letter with a code on in, that you use on apple.com support site to extend your warranty.

I bought this for my Macbook Pro because even if I only use it once it would make the purchase worthwhile. Especially since it is a laptop, I did not want to take any chances. It shipped quickly and I registered it right away no problems. Hopefully I will not have to use it!

At cost savings alone, why bother shopping elsewhere?
Ordered and delivered a couple days later. (Note; I preferred a hard, paper copy of confirmation mailed from Apple, which adds some extra time.)
All is well. Thanks.

Ran right up to my base 12 months of coverage on my 15" MBP before searching out options for AppleCare. B&H had the best price, AND offered free shipping. I saved over $100 by purchasing this item from B&H rather than direct from Apple! I successfully applied this warranty to my MBP. Thanks B&H!!
