Apple Care, and, if you think there's any chance you'll ever want to 
use it with a good external monitor, get the top rated Video card, 
meaning the card that's 'standard' in the 17s, but with the most 
video RAM, and as much RAM as possible, too.

The Apple care extended warranty is a 'must' I would think. The 
others are very optional, depending on whether it'll be a desktop 
computer, also.
