Apple Care Protection Plan (ACPP)
All Macs come with a standard 1-year international warranty. ACPP is a programme which you can subscribe to to extend this warranty period to 3 years (i.e. a further 2 years).
Only a small proportion of Macs will run into serious problems (as do all notebooks) but if yours happen to be one of them, it could prove to be quite painful. A logic board replacement, for example, would cost upwards of RM1000 to repair. Display problems could run into figures where you may be better off buying a new machine! Therefore, I would highly recommend this for peace of mind.
Students who bought their machines last year will be at the tail-end/past their warranty period and this is far urgent for them to sort out. Newly-purchased MacBooks (from the School) will either have the 3-year OS Protection or ACPP bundled. Both are great deals. If you have the 3-year OS Protection, you may want to consider getting the ACPP. If you are already on ACPP (and you will know this as you would have been given an ACPP pack upon purchase with instructions on how to register-and you have to register on your own), you’re all set.
You may order ACPP packs from the School Office.
