AppleCare+ coverage is highly recommended for new MacBook purchases.
AppleCare+ extends your coverage to three years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months (with affordable service fees).
Parents are free to upgrade to a higher model based on their child’s needs.
The above specs are provided as the minimum standard for new laptop purchases.
