    Hey, long time no post.

    Is it possible to upgrade my Dell warranty to a better one? Currently i have a 1 year basic warranty, with mail in service.

    Would it be possible for me to upgrade my warranty to in home service, and mail in replacement. Thanks

    I am pretty sure it is possible, but after you buy your notebook and like the first 14 days or so are gone, the warranty price is doubled, I am 99% sure that with dell their price is doubled after you buy the notebook, maybe not "doubled" but higher then it normally would be. Best of luck.

    I got a letter from dell about 2 weeks after buying my laptop, they gave me a few more weeks to pull the trigger on an ext warrant (post purchase)

    Its actually a nice deal. about $200 for total 3 year warranty (1 standard XPS + 2 more)

    I think ill do it, peace of mind after the first year, and itll help a ton when I sell it to the next guy.
