You can purchase any time with in the first year.. i don't know about the actually purchaing it though, I know that you will need the origional receipt of the laptop so don't loose it if you intend on buying apple care.

Yes you can.

You can get it at any Apple retailer, you just need your proof of purchase & Serial number.

I believe you can buy it through amazon as well at a discounted price, but as was stated will need your receipt and serial number to register.

The real advantage is that if you need support after the first 90 days you can call up and start using your apple care. Also apple care covers you internationlaly for all portbles.

Something to think about if you travel. I travel internationally 10 times a month average. I have used apple care in the states, Uk and other places. So I always get it asap.

But if you do need it you can always buy it and register it. I registered my care over phone and did not need the original invoice.
