dells warranty is verry good. I highly reccomend it for a laptop. But if your buying a desktop why not build it yourself?
ive had a dell desktop and lappy before and whenever i had a problem (hardware wise) there would be a replacement part at my doorstep in 2 business days :]
One of my friends laptop started having issues just after 3 years. His screen got lines of dead pixels. I usually don't buy the extended warranties, mainly because of the logic: If they offer them, then they are making money off them.
I would not buy the 3 year warranty unless it included accidental damage. I am down on warranty's in general. That price does seem fair for 2 extra years.
Since this is for a laptop, then if you have the money I would buy it because you can't necessarily repair a laptop like you can a desktop (assuming it covers accidental damage and not just hardware failure)
I think I've decided not to bother with the warranty. Its works out to 10% basically and I'm pretty sure I can fix most of the issues I have, if its serious...hopefully its within the first year
Dell, in general, makes me cry. The customer service is nothing but a bunch of PC gamers/computer builders working partime, or you will get a foreign agent who speaks with such a bad accent that you wont understand him nor will he understand you. Because of Dell, my computer came with a 80GB HD instead of the 160GB i ordered. They sent me 50 dollars back as a compensation, but still, i was very dissapointed. They are a pathetic company and stay away from them.
That is my
But get the warantee, you probobly will need it IMO.
