Thanks for the tip
My advice is that it?s better to save the several hundred dollars on AppleCare and insure it yourself.

I declined the applecare extended warranty and put it on my Visa card that doubled the manufacturer warranty to 2 years. Looks like I made the right choice. Thanks for the well written article.
