    I was almost gonna buy the macbook online, but when I was in futureshop, some one told me that the apple warranty costs $50-100 for shipping and mailing. Is this true?

    That's outrageous! I don't know how much the shipping and stuff is, but $50 for that is certainly way too high. I think that's wrong, or else I'd hear complaints about it a lot more.

    On Apple's Canada Store, AppleCare for the MacBook is $299 with free shipping.

    No, you do get international shipping from the moment you buy it. Apple Care extends the period.

    The Apple Limited Warranty that comes with all Macs is a one-year worldwide warranty. Purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan extends the same warranty plan for two more years, to make a total of three years (one year is already covered by the Limited Warranty).

    Wow,the MBP is looking sweeter now...I'm going to be in Europe for one year, so having a global warranty is very important to me.
