Here's the Apple page for the Macbook pros. Have you ever heard of anyone being denied something because it was an accident? What are the limits of this? I really can't see apple replacing a macbook every 6 months (they say two a year) forever. I've ordered a refurb that will be eligible for AC+. I'd probably just do the annual charge because I'm not going to cry over the $7/yr savings. How long can you keep AC+ for? What happens if your unit is a few years old and they don't sell them anymore? I've never had it on a macbook before so not sure how it really works out. Is it pulling teeth to get a claim handled?
Got a tip for us?

i usually buy AC+ with a new Mac on a yearly basis then decide just before renewal is due whether or not to continue.
if the Mac has no hardware issues after 12 months then i figure it's a good 'un.
for someone who's prone to dropsies or spillages then i'd definitely recommend it.
and yes, accidental damage is covered, for an additional fee.
here's a link to australian version of AC+

Basically from what I can tell it’s $279 for three years from Apple and I believe if you spill all over it that’s another $300 plus tax. So basically it’s $600 to replace the unit. That a steep buffer when it’s $1800 total to start with.
