$440.00 for a 4 year extended warr for m1730

Dell quoted me $440 for to extend my warr 4 years. Is this a deal or a rip off??

Any ideas to get a good price?
thanks

 

a 4 year warranty isn't worth ANY money. Use that money in 2 years to get a new laptop.

 

a 4 yr warranty that is less than 20% of your laptop's cost would be good.... (eg under $200 for an extra 4 years)

otherwise, just save it and use it to buy a much bette rlaptop in 4 years

 

what the hell, that is a total rip off.

Dell UK sold me 3 extra years on top of my 1 year warranty for 79£.

 

also depends on the service you got

Complete care(usually NBD + accidental damge), NBD(next business day), ship-to-depot

most non-US consumers get ship-to-depot.... im in usa, got NBD+complete care 4 yrs, the specs below for $1300USD ... 917 pounds though...

 

If complete care for M1730, I think it's well worth it considering initial price of the laptop was over 3k.

No offence to Sir Punk, but I guess he never bought a laptop that's over few K's.

Anyways, it's worth it to get Dell's warranty. AW is a different story however.

 

achilles, no matter how good a laptop that you buy today can be, it will already be obsolete in less than 2 years.

When someone asks me about extended warranty, I suggest getting at most 2 years, unless that model already comes with a standard 3-year warranty.
In fact I bought a Dell because they were giving a 3 year warranty, instead of sony that gives 1-year.

 

Regardless If its obsolete in 2 years, I still need a working computer for school and work...

My computer is a cert refurb and only has 280 days left on the warranty. I think I'll keep shopping for a better price but I will get at least 2 years. Maybe 4 since the more further out you go, the cheaper it gets per year.

 

if it includes complete care for 440 i say yes its good, as if it gets broken and they no longer have parts you get a new laptop.

440 instead of say 3-4k for a new gaming laptop.

doesnt take rocket science

 

im not in anyway saying this should be done, but if a computer near the end of its 4 yr warranty with complete care accidentally breaks, normally dell will send out a better computer to replace it.....just saying...

 

have you ever tried this?

 

Talked to dell, Complete car is an extra $100.
So grand total around $550! Seems high, i dont know...

Any other warr services that might work? independent..

 

Well if that includes the accidental insurance...be horrible to drop it in two years........and by that time they will be full AW im sure...catch mydrift???

 

see what 2 or 3 year complete care is. you never know when you might get owned by a 10 year old online and you get mad and throw your pc through the window

 

Well i just called, i currently have warrenty till november this year...its 95 bucks for accidental and the stoped when your warrenty does. So for me to add on 3 years with accidental it was going to be 345 plus a 75 gift card to dell....

I would call them and ask them about pricing...and when you say well i will think about it...she will say well if you buy it today i will offer a discount and the giftcard.

 

Or lose a huge online poker game!

 

understood

 

Im really thinking about taking the offer she gave me..as im not done paying mine off...and i will be pissed if it dies and im not covered.

 

So 345 and a 75 card for 3 years complete coverage (accident stuff too)?

lets keep calling and find a lower price

 

yeah pretty sure thats what see said...right around there...that might have been adding on 2 years and 10 months to warrenty with accidental.. but over all i would have 3 year coverage...cause i bought mine late november
