Maybe home owners insurance? No body else offers insurance on it unless you get it at BestBuy and buy their Black Tie Protection plan.

get a rubber keyboard cover. they're like $20 and let you eat while typing w/o having to worry about food getting all over the keyboard. and like powskierCO said, watch the videos.

They just updated their macbooks a few months ago. Plus, they could barely upgrade the mbps right now anyway.
