Question

JUST BOUGHT A MACBOOK AIR 3 MONTHS AGO

i just bought my self a macbook air 3 months ago and wanted to get the most out of my mac but apple told me that my warranty ends in a year from now so if i get apple care 3 years doesn't seem enough time before my macbook air gets discontinued, and for problems to start happening i hope i didn't waste my money i am used to getting 4-5 year warranty with my dell laptop but this is my first macbook air so if someone can answer this for me that would be great, i am worried that i just wasted money on this😟

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

There is no definitive technical answer to your question. Some folks purchase AppleCare and others do not. There is no right or wrong answer.

Here is what AppleCare would provide:

I personally think the 3 year AppleCare is a good buy.

Remember also that technology changes quite quickly these days. Computers used to last longer than they do today before becoming obsolete.

Apple tends to support its computers for 5-6 years in terms of hardware support and somewhat longer for software support. For example, Yosemite will run on a mid 2007 iMac so it was 7 years old when Yosemite was first released. I don't think you need to worry about your 2015 MBA being outdated in 3-5 years.
