Hello,
I wouldn't purchase a Mac without Apple Care. One of my Macs, a Mac
mini PPC's Logic Board decided to croak. Because I have the Apple Care
protection, the board was replaced and it didn't cost me a further
dime. As far as I'm concerned, the insurance you get with it can not
be beat. Of course the potential problems increase with any portable
computer, but still, I purchase Apple Care with all my machines.

Yes, the AppleCare is worth getting. Anything inside the machine is
very much worth it. Because voiceover is not quite like site, our
college technology store thought it would be worth getting. I have
had Apple engineers on the phone for a couple hours to solve
difficult problems.

AppleCare is, by at large, insurance on your investment. Getting
it means that you have an extended warranty on your Mac for a full
three years if anything goes wrong. I think it is extremely worth
it. It's worth a little extra to protect yourself. Otherwise, the
repair costs if your machine breaks down after the standard
warranty runs out will be far more than AppleCare would've been.
If you want to gamble, you can, but I wouldn't. I had one minor
issue with my MacBook and AppleCare were great in fixing it.

I was just curious if Apple Care is worth it? I live off a limited
income, and am having enough of a hard time getting the funds
needed to get the Macbook. Would I not be able to call tech
support without it? How much of a necessity is it to have it? I'm
quite computer sufficient, the only thing I would need is to learn
the new OS. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jerry
