My question is -- should I buy the AppleCare if I go the new laptop route? I've always bought AppleCare because at some point I was advised that it made more sense for Apple products than that sort of insurance makes generally, but I'd sort of like to ditch that $249 expense if I won't regret it on day 366 of ownership. So tell me, smart lawyer types (and Hank)*, can I save a little cash? What do people here do on that front?

I haven't purchased apple care recently for a few reasons. 1. I tend to upgrade them pretty regularly; 2. If you get a lemon, it tends to show up pretty quickly.
iF you are doing graphic design the Air processor may be a little light. I have an old Air and a new top of the line pro. You can't even run garage band on the air.
