When our laptop died on me a few years back I was glad we pad extra to have a 3 year laptop warranty instead of the usual 1 year warranty that comes with the purchase. We didn’t pay a singe cent even when the lcd and fan had to be replaced. We only paid a one dollars more for the extended warranty which saved us five times more than if we didn’t. I’m just glad we gave in to the salesman’s offer otherwise we would have been forking out more cash.
