While I second Sean's AppleCare recommendation, it does not cover accidental damage or theft, only manufacturers' defects. The 15" aluminum PowerBooks and MBP's, while powerful, are not as durable as Apple's previous generations. They should always be picked up with both hands, as too much weight being supported by one point can cause the outer case to warp over time.
