[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1611535, member: 56379"] Yes. Yes. This mostly depends on you. Start dropping it, bumping it frequently, spilling liquids on it, expose it to rain, etc. etc...then no. No laptop/notebook will last 3-5 years. Treat it like a dozen raw eggs...and if you break/crack one you go to the "electric chair";)...then yes...it will be durable enough to last 3-5 years.:) Nope...no problem. What you mean is "Extended Applecare". You get 12 months of Applecare automatically with purchase.;) Not for the reasons mentioned above. Applecare covers manufacturing defects...not accidents. But if something would happen that Apple would cover. If you don't have extended Applecare (and you need it)...you'll be pretty darn mad that you didn't buy it!;) The less than $200 (maybe less than $150) you would pay for extended Applecare (3 years total). In 3 years (when it expires)...you'll hardly notice the $150 you spent 3 years previously.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
