Well what we could do for you is, maybe you should complete the notebook faq in the hardware section and then copy and paste it into a new thread. Then we all can know excactly what you want, there might be something better for you out there. Its a suggestion.
Dells warranty is pretty good. Its a big price jump from the 2nd year to the 3rd year. What you can do is get the 2 year in home service, that way the tech co0mes out and you can ship the computer in to dell for free, and then before 2 years, upgrade the warranty. It gets to be over $400 or even more when you get higher in the warranty, especially when you add complete care. Just a thought. By the way you could also just add the complete care for 2 years for $119USD when i last checked. -
When I bought my Inspiron 9300 over the phone I dealt with the guy a bit, he lowered the price of the computer after I hesitated enough.
He offered the Complete Care at 299$CAN for 3 years, I hesitated again. He put me on hold for 10 seconds, came back and said how about 199$CAN (166$US), still 3 years.... I said OK.
The thing I learned is you can deal with them, and they get a nice kickback when they sell warranty, use that to your advantage. At least it worked for me....

im looking to buy an i6000.
when i was talking to the guy at a local store comparing it with a vaio he said to get the 3yr warranty because the 6000 has a dodgy screen that was only covered in the 3yr warranty.
is this tha case or was he just crapping on -
"...that was only covered in the 3yr warranty."
Doesn't make much sense. If the screen has any issues on you within the first year, then the standard 1-year warranty will cover that. If you have extended to 2-year and something happens 23 months down the road, you'd be covered.
I don't see why you would require the 3-year for problems with the screen (unless they obviously happen IN that 3rd year).
Ya, he was just 'crapping on'. -
I'm also wondering if there is any nice fitting protective sleeve for the 700m w/ the optional (but required for almost all people) 8-Cell battery. Where could one buy this 'sleeve', and what to look out for when purchasing one? (Material that it is made from, size, reputation ect.)
