Accidental damage insurance for Miami Notebook Apple laptops
Did you know that Applecare warranties do not cover accidental damage? That means if you accidently drop your laptop the cost to repair or replace it comes out-of-pocket and can be expensive. For example, it can cost $1260 dollars to repair the 15" Macbook Pro.
The Miami University Bookstore now offers accidental damage and/or theft insurance coverage through Safeware for Miami Notebook Apple laptops. Safeware covered products are serviceable at the IT Service Center and the insurance will not end when the student graduates from Miami.
