    I usually buy a warranty if I hear something like (failing hard drive) but in this case of 7811fx which has 9800gts. and all the other precious stuff init. Would warranty worth it? I want to at least use this laptop for more than 3 years

    I currently have a ST warranty on my laptop and my dad's laptop.

    No experience on ever filing a claim with them, but from what I hear, they back up their warranties pretty well.

    The 3 year warranty on my M-152XL cost $53. I wanted to purchase accidental with it, but they only let you buy that if its within 1 month of purchase, which I forgot to do. For my dad's laptop, it was $65 for 3 year standard + accidental.
