Applecare is indeed cheaper usually when not purchased from Apple. You'll find that Applecare for a Macbook Pro is pretty much model independent. You can buy and hold onto it, activating it months later. I often see 50%+ off AppleCare sales on places like Amazon or eBay. The catch is, you have to remember to go buy your Applecare later before the one-year mark. Most people just bundle it together out of laziness sake.
then you need this... (i even upgraded my processor which is socketted)240volt wrote:maybe i worded it wrongly, should have said "upgrade friendly"
what i was talking about is, for example, i always buy my macbook pro stock, and then self upgrade everything, for example my current macbook pro 2012 originally came with 8GB of ram and 500GB 5400 rpm hard drive
I opened it up and replaced...
Most people don't do this. You and the guys on hardware zone (the few dozen who post about it) are probably the only ones in Singapore actually doing it. Not saying there is anything wrong with it, but it is annoying to hear the same "OMG YOU CANT UPGRADE A RETINA MBP" as a negative when 99.9% of the people who are planning to buy a Retina MBP would never even consider doing such a thing.240volt wrote: what i was talking about is, for example, i always buy my macbook pro stock, and then self upgrade everything, for example my current macbook pro 2012 originally came with 8GB of ram and 500GB 5400 rpm hard drive

if you check hardwarezone much you will find that everyone there takes stuff in and out of their macbook pros, its quite normal
