I know in the past I've been able to visit an Apple store and get a
phone exchanged for less than the cost of a new device. I had forgotten
it was in my pocket and went swimming with it. At the time I think they
charged me about $150-200 and I told them exactly what happened. That's
been a few years ago when the iPhone 4 was new. It was money I didn't
really want to spend but it was still far less than the cost of outright
buying a new one. Maybe they do the same thing for laptops. There are
stories elsewhere on the web of folks calling AppleCare for water in
their laptops and being told it's not covered but being able to get a
"spill repair" for way less than the cost of a new one. Still could be a
non-trivial cost but better than buying a whole new unit. Other forums
also mention having computer damage riders on their insurance covering
this kind of thing so you might want to check into that. There are also
3rd party repair shops which might have a lower cost than going through
the official Apple channels such as ispillrepair.com. I've never used
them but it might be worth a try.

As I said mother nature decided to blow rain into the window and it
totally soaked the mac along with loads of other stuff.

AppleCare for a Mac is like an extended warranty, to the best of my
knowledge. Accidental damage like this surely would not be covered.
Your best bet would be to call apple or visit the genius bar to
inquire what you're options are. You should discontinued use of the
computer until you decide what to do, to avoid further damage.

Hey everyone. Hopefully someone can answer my question. I'm so
frustrated right now that I can't think straight.
Is there a place where I can go see if my mac is covered under apple
care if it's killed by water?
My poor mac was just drowned in rain thanks to mother nature and
soaking pretty much everything with blowing wind and loads of rain
while I was out for lunch.
Sadly I can't call apple to ask them due to the fact it's a holiday
here in Canada, grrr!!
