I think it used to be one claim per 12 months? Then they upped it to two. I'm glad they did this. For the price I should be able to do unlimited claims.
Right? I understand I can keep renewing the AC, so like 5 years from now, when this machine is a decade old and craps out, then what? Replacement? Maybe a new ... I'd guess M3 or M4 by then?
That does sound like a great deal. I suppose it depends upon how much you value your Mac mini and its ultimate longevity. If I recall correctly, you purchased one of the high-end models, so it may be worth it, even if you plan to hand it down to a family member or friend. I've got the original 2018 base model, with a Core i3 and 128GB SSD, so even at that great price for the extended warranty, I wouldn't spend the funds on mine. If it dies, then I'd have an excuse to upgrade, so I would rather spend the $34.99 on a computer game rather than a warranty that will probably never be used. I think that's why the price is so low, because it's unlikely to break.I just got a notification that my AC+ has expired on my 2018 Mini (I knew it was some time in Nov '22), and I've got my offer to extend it. I thought the extended AC (after the original period) was a monthly (or had an option for monthly), the only plan is yearly, but still seems like a great deal for just $34.99
Compared to my Mac mini, that's a powerhouse. It was the bottom of the barrel when I got it for $600 on Black Friday 2018.It's a decently stout config: i7, 32GB RAM (OEM), 512GB storage.
I have no use for 64GB of system memory. I don't think I've ever gone above 20GB. However, when I bought it, RAM was cheap, so there wasn't any reason to not splurge on it, and I rarely do that. You're right that $35 isn't much for the extended warranty, so it's not a big deal. I'd still probably spend it on games, but of course my Mac mini has "seen a lot" and will need replacing sooner rather than later. Your Mac mini is still a reasonably capable machine.I guess I figure, it's only ~$35, and once I pay that, I know I have an Intel Mac for the next year that won't cost me anything else.
Since AC is transferable, it should also increase the resale value.It's a decently stout config: i7, 32GB RAM (OEM), 512GB storage.
However, now that I've migrated all my Windows related work to the new notebook (from the Parallels VM on the Mini), it's not as mission critical, and I also don't really need an Intel based Mac anymore, except for the next couple of months, where it would be a good backup for the Windows machine (we have something major going down with one of our applications).
