    Hey everyone,
    I have a dell m1530 and dell gave me 100$ credit back since they dident send all the extras. What kind of laptop essentials should i buy with this. I already have a bag and wireless mouse. I have a old 160 GB external and am thinking about replacing it, or maybe a cooler. Help me out and tell me what is most important. Thanks! Or should i just extend my warrenty?

    extend your warranty!

    if not then laptop lock and cooler may be important depending on your purposes.

    I recommend extending the warranty and a cooler would be great just like quoted above.

    I would save it for when you need another battery or when your warranty is about to end and decide to extend it.

    Yeah, right now I'd recommend a warranty because of this fishy nVidia business.
