I checked apple service manuals last night and I noticed that ALL notebooks are only civered up to 300 cycles...

So i think we are both wrong in this one.

not sure which service manual your reading, but im looking at the online service manuals, they state 300 cycles on rev a and 750 on rec b/c.

all other notebooks are now covered with 1000 cycles garuntee's(non removable),

your reading ALL notebooks with removable batteries are covered with 300 cycles counts, aside from the air b/c which retains 750.

They can send you a box to ship it to the depot. OR you can go to an authorized service center.

Best Buy is an authorized service 'seller' so I would just take it in to them than? I'll have to call them to make sure later. I wouldn't feel comfortable having to ship a 27-inch iMac but Applecare is a lot cheaper compared to Best Buy's warranty.
