    Well I just bought my Dell 1564($549) and I am thinking getting a warranty.

    Dell 3 year full warranty including accidental- $209
    SquareTrade 3 year full warranty including accidental W/ 30% off sale(THIRTY30) $119

    I am sure Dell is a pretty legit warranty but I cant find much information on the SquareTrade warranties.

    From what I heard from slickdeals.net, ST is a pretty legit. Someone filed for battery cable failure to ST and they just refunded that person's money no questions asked.

    Hmm....where'd you get those Dell prices? This morning I got quoted $165 for a 1yr in-home service warranty (no accidental), or $270 for a 2 year ?!? ...this for a refurb Studio 17 I had purchased, if it makes any difference.

    I just double checked with Dell.com and 209 for the 3 year full warranty is correct.
    Maybe Dell outlet has something different?
