I asked my dad if he purchased Apple Care for his Macbook, and he said that if it broke within three years, he'd just buy a new one. XD Since that option isn't available to me, I'd consider Apple Care -- it's three additional years on top of the one year warranty, right?

So if your Mac crashes after the one year warranty and you don't have Apple Care, they'll fix it for you without charge? :O

I don't doubt that Apple's customer service is much better; the one time I had contact with Toshiba's customer service, I decided that I'd never call them again. The tech guy gave me the most ridiculous instructions and didn't even manage to fix the problem. D:
