i read around a lot the 1st week i got my MacBook pro last month and decided it was worth getting apple care + for this laptop… i previously had purchased apple care month to month for 2 of my phones and even my watch last year and never needed to use it so i was skeptical but… with something like this i find the peace of mind is worth it alone. especially after reading about so many amazing experience others have had with apple care +, seems its generally felt that apple care + is a great value for peace of mind or actual repairs if needed
