   I agree with Chris on this one.  TiBook repairs are EXPENSIVE.  A hinge repair can start at $600; an LCD replacement can start at $1200.  
    I am not trying to make the point that the Ti is a fragile   machine. I am simply pointing out that it is worthwhile to have insurance on it...home owners, extra computer insurance, AppleCare  whatever you think is best for you.
     I travel with my Ti and use it quite a bit.  If I never moved it from a desk  and if no one else ever got near it, drank coffe near it, tripped over a power cord, or decided to go to sleep on it because it was a nice heated surface (house cat)  I would STILL have AppleCare  just so I could call Apple and ask for help whenever I needed it. 
     And it's not so much that it's fragile  as that it is a high dollar item that seems to say "steal me" when people see it.  That, and  I'm  clumsy.  And the cat does like to sleep on it.  Insurance...a good thing.
