How do dat work?

How can a retailer sell legit Applecare cheaper than Apple. I'm looking at Applecare for a mini for $99 from LA Computer Co.

Any downside?

Thanks,

None, buy it. Keep your receipt.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

The retail markup on Applecare, like most extended warranties, is quite high. So there is a lot of room to discount the price. To get an idea how much, the EDU price from Apple for Applecare to cover that mini is also $99. At that price Apple is probably still making a good profit.

As for LA Computer, they are a legitimate Apple retailer. You should have no issues with buying Applecare through them.

I bought 3 or 4 AC agreements from LA Computer Co and I always get a new box, sealed, never an issue, and once when I was in a hurry they even opened the box and told me the SN via email (or phone) and mailed me the now open box later. I think I had 2 or 3 days left and I didn't want to miss the deadline.

LA Computer Co is on my highly recommended list.

EDIT: BH also has good deals and free shipping

check B&H as well...adding shipping from LA may make it more expensive than B&H:
