I recently made the switch to mac and its great! I first got a mac mini dual core, and I just picked up a used Macbook Pro 2ghz. Last night I registered it online under my apple login.
So here's my question: I want to get the extended Applecare coverage. This laptop was only purchased in June, and sold to me last week used. If I wait until the end of the first year of purchase (June 07) and buy the Applecare coverage, will I get coverage starting from that date? Or if I buy it this Christmas, will the extended coverage begin from this month?
I've heard mixed things saying people wait until the end of the first year to get more time out of the extended coverage, but I also read online that it doesn't make a difference because its from the date of purchase. But since I bought it used, I'm not sure what would be considered the date of purchase?
Not sure if this is in the right thread, but I couldn't find one about Apple warranties. Anyways, any advice would be appreciated. But after reading about all the small quirks and problems some people have with their Macbooks, I'm definitely going to go for the warranty, the question I have is when?
Thanks
