Not sure what you mean here.
All I can tell you is I've bought a LOT of Mac kit, both for home and business. Where I used to work we built our own PCs for all our admin staff, because it was so much cheaper. Problem was after 6 to 12 months all manner of components started failing. Power supplies, motherboards etc. In the end it cost us so much in time, fault finding and replacing stuff, we sacked PCs off and went to all Mac, as we already were in the design studio.

I've only had one power supply go on an iMac in all the time I've had macs, even macs I bought decades ago still worked perfectly before I let them go ! It's robust kit and I've never, ever bothered with apple care insurance for any Mac I've bought.

If you are accident prone, or worried as it's a laptop, it might be worth having. I was in the apple store the other day and a family had spilt a drink over their macbookpro, so I guess in those situations AppleCare is good !
