If you own an apple, the most expensive thing that can happen to you is when your it fails, and you are out of warranty… The diagnostic not including parts will cost you $70-80 sgd. A fail hdd, cost you $400 … Thus it is always good to get a 3-year warranty with it.

The cheapest applecare you can get if usually during promo period when they offer you free applecare, otherwise if you are an educator or student, you can get a special price. The next best alternative…will be my beloved ebay!

I previous have purchased 5 applecare from memorymate on ebay.

Generally US Seller tends to sell software cheaper than Singapore. While you will find local electronics cheaper than US.
