Just got my first M1 Air. Is it worth getting an apple care+? I've heard apple products are built to last so I'm not sure if I should spend more money in getting one. (alien.top)

I don't ever get Apple Care. I buy my computers with a credit card that doubles the warranty. So, they're covered for 2 years. I've never had a Mac break but if it did happen after the 2 years I'd rather sell the old one for parts and buy a new one to get current technology. Over the years my wife and I have owned a dozen Apple laptops. We've never replaced one that was less than about 7 years old and we've always sold the old one, still working. So not buying Apple Care has saved us a ton. We are careful with our computers so I'm not particularly worried about dropping them. And we live in a low crime area so I'm not particularly worried about them being stolen.
