      Hmm. Would you call AppleCare an extended warranty for this purpose? I pondered it and then got it after all for a new laptop (expressly for the replacement program, not the support).

          Some of these have 100x the impact of others, some have negative impact. All in all it feel less like advice on how to save money and more like advice on how to cultivate an identity of someone who is smarter than marketers.
