Same here, curious minds wants to know....;)


When I bought my new Toshiba notebook, it was no question that I wanted the extended warranty and SystemGuard to cover accidental repairs. Got mine's covered for three years. Hope I never need to use it but it give me peace of mine in having it.

Lucky you had the coverage or your wallet would be in a world of hurt:D. That small investment paid itself three or four fold.

and on a similiar note:
Maximum PC performed "three feet" drop tests on four different branded laptops.
3 of the 4 passed the test.
