[QUOTE="Cloudane, post: 52459"] Wow, you pay those prices and it's not to cover accidental damage? I shudder to think how much that would cost then! I'm pretty sure if you buy your Apple at PC World (who ironically are one of the only big retailers in the UK who deal with Apple stuff) and get their own "PC" cover, it covers accidental damage, theft, gives you free checkups in-store etc. It was still too expensive to afford on top of the PB, but I've used it on a palmtop before, dropped it and got a newer model as a replacement with no questions asked. I'm glad there are at least one or two here who, although we're all keen to pay that little more for quality (hence we're here), don't go so far as to happily fork out an extra 50% or so of their purchase in case Apple's manufacturing or choice of components aren't up to scratch. That's borderline extortion IMO. I love my Mac and what Apple do, but they really do have some silly ideas when it comes to the prices they charge for repairing faults or extending the warranty.
