Applecare is different. Also it's 4 years with the 1 yr factory warranty. I found it to be essential in a MacBook purchase.
A new motherboard alone costs $400. Stuff always happens and portables are vulnerable. I've done applecare on all my portables (6) since 1998.
"Since extended warranties are claimed so rarely, the profit margins on them run as high as 40% to 80%, says Marlys Harris, finance editor for Consumer Reports. That can pad a company's bottom line nicely. During 2004, in fact, nearly 100% of Circuit City Stores' and 50% of Best Buy's operating income came from extended warranties, say analysts."
