Just purchased a new MacBook Pro for my child who starts college in fall. Purchased from BB using AMEX, so we have an extra year of warranty. Debating between squaretrade (ST) and Apple Care (AC). Advantage of ST is that it includes spill/drop protection. This is what I am worried about since she might accidentally drop something on the Mac. She has been careful with her stuff, but one never knows. With AC, one can just take Mac to apple store, and they will take care of it (just not the drop/spill part
).
My understanding is that with either of these 2 isurances, AMEX insurance will kick in after these extended warranties run out, so basically, Mac will be covered for 4-years.
Any suggestions/advice?
Also, anyone has 30% or more discount codes for ST?
Thanks.
