Note to self: AppleCare
If you think you might want a new Apple display to go with that new laptop, make sure you buy it at the same time as the machine or you’ll be dropping another $99 on a separate AppleCare plan—just for the display.
Even though buying the two within a week of each other will seem like the same time in two years when you actually need the AppleCare, Apple doesn’t care to see it that way.
Lesson learned. Can I interest anyone in 3 Mint licenses?
