Applecare is 250...

Is it even worth it?


Since I'm a college student the Macbook is only 999.00. *Hands in air*

For a laptop? I would say yes. And, shop around. You can find it only for much less (same service).

My one bad apple experience was with the original iBook. I had to have my logic board replaced like 3 times becuase of this whole known problem. If I didn't have apple care, it would have cost a fortune to fix (before they instantiated the logic board fix program).

Yes it is! TRUST ME!!!! My Logic Board on my 1 year old MacBook just went bad this morning. I just got back from Apple and they're going to fix it. This happened 3 months after the warranty expired. If I would've not had Apple Care, I would've had to pay for that costly repair.

Dual Boot using Boot Camp.

excuse my ignorance regarding dual booting and partioning regarding macs...

my buddy said some of your hard drive is dedicated to windows while the other OSX...are there two hard drives or just one split in two?

my buddy said he dual boots and when he did a virus check...windows had a whole bunch and the osx didnt.

if they are on the same hard drive...if the windows part of it crashes due to a virus or whatever...wouldnt that mean that the entire hard drive crashes?

No, if they're are seperate partitions then for all intensive puprposes they're seperate drives and since the Windows parition doesn't interact with the OSX partition and vice versa a virus that gorks your Windows installation won't effect the OSX installation. That being said if the drive you have the partitions on goes tits up you'll probably lose all of it.

Where is a good place for a less expensive Applecare?

Has your book ever failed playing out?
