Don't take the chance
If you purchase an iMac, chances are that you already know Apple's computers have a great reputation for being reliable and problem-free. But no product is perfect, and even Macs are no exception. Sometimes your computer might have a hiccup in its operation that requires repairs. Or, perhaps you need a little help figuring out some of the lesser-known tips and tricks of Mac software. Apple computers come with a standard 1-year repair warranty as well as 90 days of complimentary phone support. But with AppleCare, you can extend that to a full three years from the date of purchase for both phone and service support. This ensures that whether you need a little assistance navigating your new computer, or if you have a hardware malfunction, you're still covered. Losing your computer just isn't worth the risk; invest in AppleCare today.
Help is just one phone call away
Mac owners usually enjoy how smoothly everything runs on their computer. A big part of this smooth operation is that Apple makes most products related to Mac. They design and build the computer hardware, create the OS, and design a lot of the software run on Macs. Aside from fluid performance, this is also to your advantage if you need technical help. With the AppleCare option, you get as much help as you need from Apple's award-winning phone support center for your first three years of computer ownership. This coverage includes help with hardware (including setting up printers or networks), help with the OS, and even support for iLife and iWork. This ensures that virtually any question you could have about operating your computer can be answered by Apple's experts. Seriously, imagine what would happen if you called Dell's tech support with a question on Microsoft Office. Even if you could get the answer, you probably wouldn't be able to understand the accent of the foreign call center worker.
For when the phone isn't enough . . .
If the troubleshooting of Apple's support staff, or your own diagnostics tell you that this problem is most definitely not Operator Error, AppleCare covers hardware malfunctions as well. While not common, a malfunction with your Mac could leave you in a world of hurt. Don't take the chance — look into AppleCare today. AppleCare will extend the warranty included with your Mac by a full two years, giving you protection from equipment failure for three years from the purchase of your computer. This includes global coverage (when available), and in some locations offers the option of having the repairman come to your computer to fix the problem. The warranty includes both parts and labor coverage. But not only is your Mac Pro covered, so are its included accessories (keyboard, mouse, etc.), AirPort Extreme Card, AirPort Express Base Station, AirPort Extreme Base Station, Time Capsule, Apple memory (RAM), and an Apple cinema display when purchased at the same time.

AppleCare proved invaluable to me when my iMac crashed right out of the box. The customer support representatives were patient and thorough, staying with me until my problem was solved.

I had an issue with the keyboard no wanting to type an r and so had to call apple help. They did not give up on me and kept passing me up the ladder of knowledge untill the issue was resolved. They were very helpful and pleasant to talk with. I have not had the equipment long enough to know how it will be 3 years from now but so far they have been great.

Normally people are used to salesman overselling options you really dont need. Not with Vanns! This protection plan is something that is explained fully and with NO pressure! Its left up to the buyer to make the choice, and its that simple, Vanns gives you options and choices! No one likes to be painted into a corner, and told theres only one way. The only one way street Vanns travels, is the road to complete customer satisfaction!!

Love the fact that I have such comprehensive support. Especially since I just switched over from a PC. Having people that I can call whenever I need is huge since there is a bit of a learning curve between the two systems. I heartily recommend getting this product with any new Mac.
