I've had my 15" mac book pro with retina display for almost 4 years now. Some people say the retina display isn't worth it. However, when I look at other laptops now I can't tell you how happy I am with the retina. Also, when I bought this I was told that if something goes wrong with the hardrive, they would have to replace the whole laptop (only pertains to retina displays). I don't know how true this is, but it may be good to do some research about that.
Having said that, I haven't had a single problem with it and I have had some liquids spill on the keyboard (college). For all apple products, I think AppleCare is worth it.
Edit: Look into their trade-in program, I've saved a good amount of cash on a few phones by making use of it.
