$193 for a 3 year warranty worth it?

[aphex]

Standard kinda sucks - 90 days phone support, 1 year parts/labor

$193 gets ya 3 years phone and parts/labor...

Seems reasonable, especially considering what local big box stores usually charge...

 

[Nocturnal]

Sounds reasonable to me.

Absolutely. On laptops, they're definitely worth it. A new screen will run you more than that, as will a lot of other things that may go wrong with it.

 

[thecrecarc]

who need warranty when u got AT?

o wait... its a mac. nvm, get warranty.

On most hardware I don't buy into the warranty, but since it's a laptop, and a mac in general, it's probably worth the price.

 

[Tiamat]

yes. laptops break down so easily.

Plus, any repairs other than a hard drive will cost you quite a bit. ~$200 for 3 years? Why not?

That seems like a pretty good deal. Extended warranties aren't worth it on a lot of things, but laptops are definitely things you want them for.

The extended warranty saved me a ton of money on last iBook.. they had to replace almost the whole thing.

Make sure to check that the extended warranty you're picking up also covers screen repair/replacement. The retailer I work at has a separate screen protection warranty which is separate from the standard parts and labour warranty.

If it does indeed cover screen repair/replacement, definitely.

Yes... the extended warrenty saved my butt on my toshiba, which needed a new motherboard after 2 years!

 

[dahunan]

I sold a Toshiba Tablet to someone on eBay.. the idiot broke the screen two days after the paperwork went through for transfer of ownership.. Toshiba took care of the whole thing under the accidental damage warranty..

 

[Gilligansdingy]

[ForumMaster]

laptops are a bit more sensative then desktops and repairing any laptop can cost a lot. yeah get the warrenty.

 

[alimoalem]

x2. A year ago when I bought my laptop, Acer was offering a 2-year extension (3 years total) of the factory warranty for just $130. I jumped on it.

Thought it's not a "total warranty" I.E. me dropping it off the roof is not covered, it does cover and parts that just die, including the screen as well as shipping.

Laptop warranties are a good thing to have.

Use an Amex (and some MC and Visa cards) and double the original warranty for free.

FTW!

Plus it's going to be up in FS/FT in about 4 months anyways.

I thought Amex was 1 additional year, not double?

1 year + 1 year = 2 years?

Double FTW?
