I agree w/ Lander, unless if you're buying a real inexpensive system that you will anyways want to upgrade in a year or two.
Whose warranty is it? We can look that up. The plan should cover the cracked screen, in case you accidentally drop it, and anything else that happens from accidental blow-- the screen's as much as a G right there...if for some reason your battery goes-- that's half the cost of the plan. If a power surge fries you're..you're covered up to the dollar amount stated.
It should state that you will get a replacement laptop if not able to repair it, but should not limit that value to something much lower than the price you paid, nor should it state that if not able to repair they have the option to just return your warranty payment & that's it. Does it include Express Repair? Is the plan transferrable?
It really depends a lot on whose plan it is & how advanced the system... and keep in mind who will replace it in case of loss or theft: homeowner, renter, vehicle insurance..... Will you need a device to affix it to something? Keep in mind the anti-theft software also...

I wouldn't get it honestly unless you're getting a 2000+ one.
Get no interest financing from best buy and you can put the service plan on there with it (and everything else you purchase at the time)
You shouldn't be buying a laptop from best buy in the first place.
But when Best Buy repairs your computer they ship it to a corporate office to fix it... That takes weeks. Although I think if the screen actually stops working they simply replace it instantly. Get the specifics from the salesman but I believe that's right.

I would recommend having a look at www.gateway.com. I bought a gateway laptop direct from them and the service has been awesome. Haven't had any hardware problems, but have spoken to a technician a couple of times about software issues and they were great. Also, the prices on that website are open to negotiation. I got about $400 worth of upgrades just by asking. I would feel a lot safer buying from them then best buy.
NO!Noreaga said:
Those extended warranties are a ripoff.
Next time a salesperson tries to sell you one.. say:"This item is not a piece of $hit is it? Then he will say "no".. Then you say, "well there is no need for a warranty than"
In my opinion, you should not be buying a laptop from any store where slimeball salesmen are trying to push a ripoff warranty on you.
Go to dell.com or somewhere like that.
