    A few days ago I checked to see what the 3 year CompleteCare warranty would cost for my XPS M1330 and the price was $119. I checked this morning and now the price is $178. Does Dell change the price of CompleteCare by the time you have left on your standard warranty or do they change it randomly as the do on their PC's.

    As far as I know it's random.

    Yup, it really depends on how much margin Dell thinks they need. You will see that coverage can be way more expensive on a cheap pc, and a little cheaper on a 'premium' model.

    The prices will change depending on how old is your computer, they will go higher.
