For what it's worth, the magazine Consumer Reports _generally_ considers
plans such as AppleCare to be a waste of money when taken out on _most_
appliances: refrigerator, ovens, microwaves, etc.
However, in a recent issue, they specifically noted that they thought
such plans a wise idea for _laptops_, because laptops are moved about, prone
to injury/damage, and easy to ship back and forth for repairs.
I normally never sign up for such plans, but if I bought a new Mac
laptop, I would.
