TCOs are great calculations for companies but don't work for individuals.

- nerdawson 3y agoAppleCare+ on the $2k 14" MBP is $279 or +14% for 3 years of coverage. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
- izacus 3y agoSo now you made it a 2.3k$ MBP didn't you? Funny how the 999$ MacBooks tend to explode in price when you configure them to make them useful.
- nerdawson 3y agoCorrect. It’s an insurance product. Whether you take it is all about your risk tolerance and in no way impacts the usefulness of the machine. I believe 14% is worth it.
- raydev 3y agoI don't understand how this relates to paid warranty or insurance. Your TCO for a non-Apple laptop can also include a protection fee or cost to repair with no insurance.
