What are the must haves when you're buying a Macbook? Is the extended service thing worth it?

    I've had nothing but good experiences with AppleCare. I'd say it's well worth the cost.

    Other than that, I don't think there are any real "musts". The Apple Remote is nice to have if you're going to plug your computer into a TV a lot.

    It's definitely worth the cost, especially in terms of hardware failure.

    Everyone I know has had some catastrophic failure within 5 years, def worth the price.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    It's for nothing special. Internet and videos is her main usage for computers.

    You may be eligible for education or government employee pricing, so make sure you take advantage if possible.
