    Guys if you had the chance would you go with a HP Total Care or a SquareTrade Warranty? After coupon i can get a squaretrade warranty which includes accidental coverage for around the same price of an HP Warranty (squaretrade being slightly more but not much). I notice the HP warranty includes "in home" service if thats included with squaretrade or not. Don't know how good the experience people have had with the HP Total Care but i've only heard good things about squaretrade.

    thanks,
    Ncage

    Squaretrade.

    But bear in mind that the Envy 14 CTO comes with a 2 year warranty standard. That should be enough...no?

    Oops, didn't realize I wasn't in the Envy forum anymore. Disregard.

    I recently looked up HP's accidental coverage and it did not make sense to me. You should look at the terms and conditions find print. Seems they don't cover dents and other cosmetic damage from falls and such. Also, not sure about spilling drinks on it either. You'll need to call them and ask directly about the coverage before purchasing it. Good luck.

    KJ :cool:
