AppleCare vs. The Geek Squad
Hi all,
I wanted to upgrade my old iBook Graphite, but didn't need top-of-the-line, so over the weekend I went to Best Buy and picked up one of their clearance $850 Macbooks.
The salesman offered me their Geek Squad coverage, as opposed to AppleCare, and added that if I got the Advanced Geek Squad coverage, it covers accidents like cracked cases that AppleCare doesn't.
I have 14 days to make up my mind, so...can anyone here give me any arguments of one over the other? I mean, I read the literature but that doesn't tell you what it's REALLY like.
Thanks,
Sarah B.
