    Mine will expire by July 2009.

    Where do you extend your XPS Warranty, thru online or by phone?

    How much if you want to extend it by 1 year....or 2years?

    I guess my NVIDIA have problem and i heard that they extend the warranty by a year. so does it mean that my warranty will expire by July 2010?

    Nvidia extends the warranty for the GPU only by one year.

    Don't worry Dell will be contacting you w/in a few months, to try and sell you an extended warranty.

    Or, you can check it out here:
    Extend & Upgrade Warranty

    You enter your Service tag, and it will tell you your current choices availi' to you! :D

    Here is where you can find out more info on your system:

    Hope that helps!

    My XPS 1350 comes this Friday and I only took out the 1 year warranty. I've now seen that people say the GPU is pretty much cursed in this model, so I wondered, will they offer me an extra year at the end of my warranty?

    I'm a UK customer.

    The extra year is for the GPU only. As previously stated you can extend the entire systems warranty though. I just recently looked at the prices myself and for some reason it seems cheaper to extend than to get a longer warranty at the time of purchase.

    You can extend the warranty up to a maximum of 4 years. For my Dimension 9100 they told me it would cost me $129 to extend this by one year.

    Wow. The price I was shown online was $69 for an additional year of next business day at home service. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

    i have 5years old laptop and until now it didnt give up (toshiba portege R100)....

    do you think it's worth it to buy extended warranty worth $159?

    i don't know if XPS1530 is built to last atleast 5years without problem. anybody?

    I plan on keeping my 1530 for at least 4 years...My Complete Care is a total of 3 years. For that 4th year. I will see how things are going then, with my lappy about 6 months prior to expiration of it.

    $159 for 5 years is a decent price to me. I would prolly get it, if in the same position you are now! :)

    Since March 2009 I didn't extend my xps1530 warranty :)

    After upgrading my HDD (250GB to 500GB) and RAM (3GB to 4GB), is it advisable to extend my XPS1530 eventhough I didn't buy the HDD and RAM to Dell?

    My one year original warranty was expired last July 2009 and my GPU will expire this coming July 2010.
