    Got an HP Spectre X360 13", 512SSD, 16GB 2016 model a few weeks ago. 13-W0XX

    Really like the laptop.

    Question... Is it worth it to get one of the HP Care Packs with this unit?

    Also..which one? When I go to HP Support Assistant, it shows a plan that is $60 for HP 2 Year w/Accidental Care: U9ED4A. This doesn't seem like a Spectre plan though.

    When I look at plans by going into the web-site, there is a special Spectre group for plans, that shows plans for around $190.

    Just an FYI....according to reports I read a few years back....only 2% of the electronics in the world go bad and that almost always happens in the 1st 30 days. I have not bought any kind of warranty/plan for years and have never regretted it. Also use AMEX (or Visa) and double factory warranty. Just my .02. YMMV.
