    Before I bought the m11x I didnt know the hinge problem was so serious and now seeing all these problems I wonder can I extend my warranty on the product? Is it gonna be more expensive?

    Guess I can just give dell a call, but I like to hear the forum's opinion :)

    i believe it is more dearer than when buying the system at the time though i am not sure how much more it will be.

    yeh im starting to get loose hinge and squeakyness from the hinge too, not sure how much longer it will last, think ive still got a few months of my warrenty left, will the warrenty cover the hinges - because its classed as wear and tear and not an actual problem

    First, the hinge is covered by the warranty, I've changed one (screen). Secondly, it actually cost LESS. 3 yrs standard warranty costs more than 300 euros here in France, il costs me 200 euros to cover another 3 years from now.

    Are you saying you can get an additional 3 years directly from Dell for only 200 euros after purchase??
