Why is it going to cost you a lot? Are you expecting it to break? As long as you take reasonable care and don't drop it into a pool those things are pretty reliable. I've bought 4 macbooks since 2012 and passed them on to family whenever I wanted a new one and they are all still working despite the occasional bump.

You can't take nothing for granted. My mac mini started having issues just before end of warranty. Now after the end of warranty to fix it would cost me about 1/2 its original price. My pro which is out of warranty also has issues again fixing would cost me the same as buying a new pc laptop. Apple devices are very good when they are under warranty at least in India.
