$299.95 to be exact. My experience is that if you tell them it's a hardware problem (with conviction), they will talk to you on the phone for free. On the other hand, my father's experience has taught me that AppleCare can be a good deal. I think this is especially true with the 500 mhz iBook, because it was the first of the new model and seems to have a lot of problems. You can get Applecare at a discount at Smalldog.
