AppleInsider Price Guides
Statistics indicate that more than 60% of
consumers purchasing a new Mac also purchase Apple's 3-year extended
warranty service with their computer. These extended protection plans
retail for between $149 on a Mac mini and up to $349 on a 15-inch
MacBook Pro. However, Apple Authorized Reseller B&H
Photo offers industry-leading pricing on AppleCare
plans when purchased alongside a Mac (starting at just $104 on a Mac
mini ranging up to $190 on a 15-inch MacBook Pro). Since B&H also
discounts the Macs themselves, AppleInsider readers who
purchase a new Mac with AppleCare from the reseller can save between
$59 (on a Mac mini) and $1,062 (on a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display)
off Apple's original MSRP pricing for the bundle. B&H also throws in
free software (Parallels or Bento).
Below is table showing Apple's retail price for each current Mac with 3
years of AppleCare protection compared to the prices of those same
bundles at its two leading resellers: MacMall and B&H. Lowest prices
are in bold blue typeface and the total savings compared to Apple's
pricing can be seen in red. Prices are as of May 18th, 2013 at 9:09 a.m. ET.
