    Hi,

    I'm graduating from my school and I'm going to use my student discount to buy a 17" macbook pro before I leave the US. Do you guys know if Applecare will cover my macbook pro in Thailand? I know there is Apple center in Thailand but I'm not sure about apple care policy.


    Thanks for your input.

    Thailand should be no problem. Applecare is valid there.

    And the APP is "worldwide" in a sense, but it isn't valid in all countries. Only countries where there is an actual Apple presence. Which is a lot of places, don't get me wrong, I am definitely not dissing the APP - I will get one myself :) Thailand is one of the valid countries anyway.

    No, that's not what I meant. I meant that it isn't sold (and thus valid) in ALL countries, only those with an Apple presence. Which is still a lot :)

    Besides, the notebook/desktop distinction was removed. They are all worldwide now.

    No it's still there, I just got mine this past monday, and the warranty I got with it still states it, as well as Apples website, only notebooks have worldwide support, Desktops are restricted to the US and Canada.

    Since the thread starter is getting a notebook, he's totally fine.

    It's only if you have an APP, sorry for being unclear. Desktops are not "worldwide" under the one-year warranty.
