If I buy a Macbook Pro from Bestbuy, can I buy the apple warranty at apple?

I learned the hard way to NEVER buy an Apple product from a Best Buy. They may have a snazzy Apple mini store setup in the Best Buy but don't fall for it. They want you to believe they are basically an Apple Store but they don't offer any of the offers or service a real Apple store does. If you are in a small town without an Apple store you can always buy online.

My daughter did get her student discount at Best Buy but no free iTouch eventhough Best Buy advertized it. Trust me, you will NOT get the iTouch at Best Buy or any other offers or specials. Also, if there is a problem Best Buy is the last people you want to deal with.

They are going to let us return the MacBook Pro (with a 15% fee) but it's worth it on principle alone. We can say good ridiance to them and go get our free itouch at the real Apple store.

Taking advantage of parents is one thing but new college students?...come on.

Apple is great don't get me wrong, but this whole Best Buy partnership gives them a black eye for sure.

You're better off buying AppleCare from ebay, you can get it half price. Just make sure you pick a reputable seller - but there are lots of people on the forums who will recommend people from personal experience.

I'm just wondering if I buy the Macbook Pro at BestBuy, will I be able to purchase the Applecare warranty for it over at Apple?

Yes.

Yes. Also, you have one year from the date of purchase to buy the AppleCare Protection Plan (but if you're going to wait, don't wait until the last day).
