Subscribe a Mac AppleCare Protection Plan
After a long period of hibernation, I'm back to talk about the AppleCare.
So AppleCare kesako? Well simply a guarantee of two years which adds to the initial one-year warranty on your Mac. Your favorite machine is then covered for any hardware failure for 3 years.
Not all, when you buy your Mac, you have a free telephone technical support 90 days. By purchasing an AppleCare, the warranty is now 1 year (first year). Hence the interest to subscribe when you buy your Mac.
As a bonus, a CD self-diagnosis of your Mac comes to test all its components.
How much does it cost? € 169 for a Mac mini,
€ 179 for an iMac,
€ 249 for a MacBook
You will find all the prices here:
