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.

Wife put stuff on the book shelve for moving.. forgot to take it off.. moved book shelf, and it felled...

complete care, i think for 3 year is either 169 or 179.. forgot.. thats on top of their usual warranty...

 

[mauiblue]

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

yeah, i feel like i should drop it a few more times, still got 2 years on it.. just to break even..

that still has to be a sickening feelng watching it hit the ground, complete care or not.

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

yeah.. i actually have two of the inspiron 6000.. the other one does NOT have complete care.. i almost had a heart attack.. thought it was the other one..
