Macbook Air Insurance

Apple's Macbook Air was ceremonially introduced by Steve Jobs at the Macworld Conference and Expo in 2008. It was launched as a lighter, more portable incarnation of the original Macbook.

While the Macbook Air’s standing as the thinnest notebook in the world had been contested, it is still considered by many to be the best Ultrabook on the market and hugely popular with consumers (it accounted for most of the 6.5 million Macbooks sold in the first half of 2012).

The machine’s portability is a clear benefit, but unfortunately it also makes it an easier target for thieves, as well as put it at risk of being damaged while on the move. These elements, as well as the usual risk of loss and damage, make insurance particularly important.
