    I have an E1505 and the warranty is up in a little less than a month. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it so far although it does show a little wear. Its around $200 to extend it I think and I think thats a lot. But then again I don't want it to crap out the week after the warranty is up either. What should I do?

    Really? I told them on the phone I wasn't interested and they basically said have a nice day. I can still do it online though

    Maybe I can break it or something and get a new one. I don't have complete care though

    Ummm... first of all that's kind of sad that you want to break your laptop and secondly if you don't have complete care you'll probably end up screwing yourself.

    get some morals.

    but yes 200$ is a lot for something you may never use.
