    When could AppleCare products be useful?

    I bought a MacBook and thinking about how to protect it from damage. The last time I broke my MacBook by accidentally drooping it. As far as I understand, any AppleCare product doesn't cover the cost when you break it by an accidental damage. If it doesn't cover it, is it even useful...

    Removing butterfly clip from rMB

    Does anyone know how to remove the butterfly mechanism clip from the rMB keyboard? My ESC key cap popped off and broke a clip on the mechanism and so I need to replace it. If I go to the Apple Store would they replace it for free?

    Macbook: should I wait the buy?

    I see no new Macbooks announced in the last Apple event, so no new Macbooks coming soon. Is it right? I don't have urgency: I can wait 1-2 months.

    Waiting for the 13/14" rMB

    After the introduction of the 12" rMB last year, and the multiple reports of a "MacBook Air with USB C Ports" that may or may not be referencing a MacBook Pro, it would be wise to say that there might be a larger variant of a MacBook in production. In addition to this, as the MacBook Air is...

    Opinions on Macbook

    I am looking to replace my Mac Air (late 2010) model. The Air is probably the best machine I had so far (and I had quite a few), but it started showing its age.
