Quote from MaroonSeed4189 :
The $200 plan does, but if you go for the $50 one you are still saving an additional $50 off your purchase plus the year of membership.

Also to note the AppleCare is only valid for as long as you pay the yearly $200 plan, if you stop paying your warranty stops.
Up to a max of two total years of coverage yes ? And not extendable.

But if you get yearly AppleCare that's perpetual.

The (unfortunately) trained consumer in me wants to replace my MBP 14" with something in the M3 line but I have yet to push my M1 Pro hard enough lol. Apple is expensive but that power to battery ratio is something special.

FYI, those with access to AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Service) will PM to the $1999, which saves me $164 in sales tax.

No, Mac does not have a touch screen or pen access.

Might consider a combination of a MacBook Air (depending on how intensive the computing needs are) and an Ipad with pen if they want to stay in the Apple environment.

Same here. Even video editing is perfectly fine with my m1. But I do want to upgrade from 14" to 16"

Without at least 16GB of RAM and at least 1TB storage, I don't even consider these deals.

And even then, I look at the price... steep AF—I absolutely love Macs, but can't justify these prices.

For those interested, you can often find decent discounts on open-box items at Best Buy (with full warranty coverage) and in Apple's refurbished section: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished.

PS: If you buy used or open box, you can check any Apple product's warranty coverage using its serial number here: https://checkcoverage.apple.com
Still holding on to my 2017 MBP because I can't justify these prices for the hardware. I really don't want to use Windows, but the Apple tax has gotten out of control..

The "apple tax" as people like to call it is really not as bad as people try to make it out to be. Yes, the memory and storage upgrade prices are absurd but there are no similarly priced products with apples performance, efficiency, AND build quality. People just look at raw stats/components but ignore the fact Apple products are way better engineered and generally don't have throttling issues (the air has some because of passive cooling on intensive tasks) and less issues over its life span. I've had issues with pretty much every non Apple laptop I've had

A laptop that lasts 7 years with relatively no problems is a great buy at this price

I am still using my 2019 MBP with the i9 processor as I can dual boot it with Windows. Sometimes I like to use Microsoft Access and it was easier to just run Windows and Mac on the same machine. Not sure how well running a Windows virtual machine will work.

Plus the resale market for an MacBook vs a Windows machine can be significant to help offset the cost too.

Quote from 2Slick2Quit :
you're 100% correct. 512GB was sufficient maybe 15 years ago.


I can't believe there isn't a revolution among Apple users over this treachery. It's pure greed, pure evil.
This isn't anywhere near the same caliber of storage as 15 years ago. And unlike 15 years ago, cloud storage is dirt cheap, home and mobile internet speeds are faster and often unlimited, and the type of users that pause at prices like these probably aren't the type to need more than 512gb of space in the first place.

I don't get why people complain about Apple as if they're forced to purchase their products. Apple isn't a charity, they're a for-profit company that makes quality products that last much much longer than any of their counterparts. That's why 5 year old Apple products are still worth something while 5 year old windows machine are usually undesirable and almost worthless.

As an Apple user, I like how my OS has never been taken over by ransomware and how my 10 year old laptop still runs as fast as it did on day one. I'll gladly pay extra for reliable software and hardware. Piece of mind is worth way more than saving a relatively negligible amount of money.

Without doing any research about that specific laptop, in general cheaper windows laptops are worse in a few areas and those that aren't are basically similar in price

1. The MacBook pros with Apple silicon are extremely powerful
2. They are power efficient and don't throttle even when unplugged. Most windows laptops will drain a ton of battery/throttle not plugged in
3. Build quality is MUCH better

If you're willing to sacrifice in one o those areas go with a cheaper laptop. If not then go with a MacBook and pay more. Also there are a lot of nice little things that work so well when you synergize with other Apple products

It's probably just me being cheap. I am fully emerged in the Apple ecosystem and prefer their products, but seeing the higher specs at half the price has made me hesitate on upgrading. I'll need to bite the bullet eventually.
