So if I go to the Apple store, will they go and delete all my data for me? For free possibly? Staples would charge me $25. I don't have a hard drive enclosure because IMO they're too expensive (at least the ones I know of). Oh, and one more thing, unrelated to topic: I recently upgraded my HD and am gonna sell my old one. 349 probably wouldn't buy you a replacement SSD drive (256GB on the non-retina model is an extra 400).
Should I, or do I have to bring some sort of identification to prove that I am a student? I do have a student number and other various documents proving this status. Apple care is 349, with a Retina MacBook Pro you can't change any parts (easily) yourself. Following Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina display price cuts on Wednesday, Apple Authorized Reseller and AppleInsider sponsor B&H Photo similarly slashed the prices of their exclusive bundles. I'm a university student though, and the discount on my MacBook was 15. However, this doesn't cover accidental damage, so you might want to check that with the John Lewis care as well. Its peace of mind in case of an accident especially students who need their MacBook for their studies. Tier 4 Accidental Damage is 655, then an additional 100 Labor Charge for a total of 755.
I've decided to go to the Apple store (since I am a student I get a decent discount, and therefore won't rely on eBay for low prices), but I have a question or two:ĭo I have to have my laptop with me to buy it? Or can I just go there, ask for AppleCare for MacBook, buy it and then leave?Īlso, by "student" I mean I'll be enrolling into college for first year this September, and I have not yet received the student ID card. When I bought my 15' Retina MacBook Pro last year, my AppleCare was discounted to 60. Best answer: Yes, most students should get AppleCare+ to protect their MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. If you have a MacBook with a Retina display screen (pretty standard equipment these days, but not with the older MacBooks) you can expect to spend between 455 and 755 replacing the screen completely at the Apple Store.
AppleCare for the new M1 Air now costs 199 (versus the old 249 price.
Being a treasured gadget you should protect it with the Best MacBook Pro with Retina Display Cases, Covers and Sleeves. Apple is cutting the prices for its AppleCare Plus extended warranty for both its M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops.
Ok, so hopefully you're all still subscribed to this thread, I'm gonna go buy it this week. Macbook Pro are portable when compared to first generation laptops.
