Is Apple Care worthwhile with a MacBook Pro?
I'm going to Ecuador in half a year. I'll buy a MacBook Pro now. Is it worth it to buy Apple Care? I'm afraid that I will not buy it and then what is with my laptop. Especially that the year in Ecuador does him no good.
Is Apple care generally worth it or is it just rip-off?
It's worth it
In my opinion, Apple Care is already worth it, as you get immediate help from Apple Support and will also handle hardware issues. Especially when traveling to another country, it may make sense, as it could break when taking away in the plane or at the destination. Your device can be repaired at any Apple Store or by submission, and you have access to professional support for Macs. It makes perfect sense for you if you do not use a protective cover or protective film on your Mac to protect it from possible accidents. Since you go on a journey, it's worth it for you especially. If you only use your Mac statically at home at a desk and never take it outside, then Apple Care is not really worth it.
