Since you can find AppleCare discounts from 3rd party resellers via the Internet, I don't buy it when I buy my computers. Instead, I wait till my free phone support ends, at 90 days, then buy it from someone like Smalldog, where I think I saved about $50 last time. If you don't care about the free phone support, you can wait till the year is almost out to buy it. But don't go past the one year mark, or you won't qualify. And when it comes to notebook computers, I think most people agree AppleCare is a good investment.
