<p>Another vote for CSI from a 2014 parent. My son’s 6-mo old MacBook Pro was ‘catastrophically damaged’ (destroyed) by liquid damage. Liquid damage is NOT covered by most manufacturer’s warranties, including AppleCare. We had to purchase a new computer. A CSI policy costs a lot less than a new computer. :)</p>
<p>After computer #1, we bought a CSI policy (thanks, P56!). It was a good move because someone stepped on the new 3-wk old computer #2 & cracked the screen, a $700+ repair. It was covered by our 3-wk old CSI policy. So was cellphone #3, which he dropped in a lake during the same week that computer #2 was damaged. Thank heavens for CSI! (Disclaimer: And no, I am not an employee of CSI, just a grateful parent). I’m hoping for a less expensive sophomore year. :D</p>
