Safeware Hardware Protection Plan

Most manufacturer warranties, such as Applecare, do not cover accidental damage so we recommend you purchase a laptop protection plan for your computing device. Safeware covers accidental damage due to incidents such as drops, liquid spills, cracked screens, mechanical failure and power surges.
