heres the deal, jen n i went to this mac store yesterday to get the macbook pro labtop battery fix rite... cool.. we got the warranty replacement which will come in 2-3weeks.. thats fine...
then the guy told us... something like this....
guy:maybe you should consider getting the Apple care protection plan for you macbook... (he goes on explaning bla bla bla.. what it covers you.. why you should n everything...)
me: (naturally, i'd be thinkin of the cost rite), so i ask how much... ...
guy:rm 1299
me: (silent...........thinking inside.. r u crazy?? rm1299)...... cool thats ok ... )
why would someone pay 1299 for a protection plan?? think about it.. labtop rm 7+++... protection plan for extra 2 yrs... rm1299... close to 20% of the value of the computer...
like come on, aren't these product suppose to last for a duration longer than 3 yrs?
would you buy a merc and pay additional 80grand for an extended warranty for 2 extra yrs? ..
i have to say apple's marketing dept are really doing a good job in marketing their products.. iphone, itunes, ipod... but certainly i-wouldntpayrm1299forapplecare.....
hence... think about it the next time u buy an apple product...

Hmmm...why the Apple coincidence, huh? Did you see the iLing? Is it for sale already? Hahahaha.
In response to your Q, no, I wouldn't pay RM1,299 for protection. I'd go: wtf?
didn't see the iling there.. maybe they'd have it in stores like la senza or blush or something...
First iMac, iPod then the icannotbelieveiamblogging...iLing...and now i-wouldntpayrm1299forapplecare. Seriously dude, Steve Jobs should pay you for your fascination, promotion and (proposed) expansion of his line of i-products.
blith3.... BC right?
i seriously had no idea who mr jobs is... had to blackle it..
but again... rm1299 for an insurance? u work for bank negara and i'm sure u'd know what sorta insurance depreciation rate you'd pay for you assets right?
Yes, it's 'muah'. You are thinking too adult already, to me it's just too expensive to get! Well, I had no idea what blackle was...so we're tied! Had to take a couple of moments to remember that it's a black version of google which reportedly saves on heat emission. I am thoroughly impressed on your green-consciousness! *Save energy, save the world.*
