I bought a MBP that I'll be bringing into College every day to work from, and seeing as AppleCare is just an extended warranty (nuts to them), I was wondering if anyone has experience with Laptop Insurance that covers accidental damage and theft.
Shit like, which company is most reliable but also has affordable monthly/yearly prices.
Move to the US, you'll have a better chance at finding good coverage here.

Don't bother. Just be careful with it.
Most of the time, the insurance will cost more over 3 years than the total value of the laptop.
Apple are pretty lenient with their warrenty when it comes to accidental damage. Would be better off investing in a kes lock. That way, theft is avoided and it cant drop off a desk.

Check if it's covered on your house insurance, for a start.
Kensington lock won't do be much good on the street though. I know it's UNLIKELY anyone not from my college/class would try to grab my bag off me on the street, and if they were from the college they'd be pretty easy to recognise, but I'd still rather get insurance for the year I'm in college, atleast.
Also £70 (ballpark) a year is definitely NOT more than the cost of the laptop.

This.
Laptops can be considered mobile devices which are based from your home most of the time (or something like that).
