Thinkpad Protection Plan (GREAT STUFF!)

I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what great service I got with IBM. I have an X60 that I bought almost three years ago.

Last week it died on me. I went right to my email to see when I actually bought the thing because I had the 3 year protection plan.

Sure enough I made it by 2 months! I called them up. Decided it needed a new motherboard/cpu.

So They overnight a box to me, everything ready for me to send it back even including the tape.

4 days later its back. Looking BRAND NEW!. They replaced the motherboard/cpu. Replaced the case because it was all cracked. Even replaced my Keyboard.


I bought my machine with a student (employee pricing sale) got the three year protection plan for like $130 bucks. They took care of me big time.

So for anyone thinking about the protection plan I highly recommend it!

 

i do love the protection plan and with the current low pricing why not..

 

Nice to hear a happy ending. It is really a good feeling to have a machine for 3 years and get all that replaced. Probably will last you another 3

 

Wait is this regular warranty service? Or is it the accidental warranty plan?

 

ThinkPad Protection is the accidental policy.

 

That Avatar cracks me up everytime I see it.

 

Nice to hear the positive experience with The Protection Plan.
I'll buy sure to keep that in mind when purchasing those high-end laptops.

 

if you fork out like 2000 dollars on some top end machines, then i don't think that extra 200 dollars a year for some extra warranty care is all that much.

I know some people whom drive 50,000 dollars car) and they don't even want to fork out 1000 dollars for premium car insurance (they said it is too expensive.... i then asked, is that why you bought a 50,000 dollars car... i obviously don't understand the logic behind that).... and then someone crash into them with a 500 dollars Mini Cooper (old one) whom also don't have insurance because they truly couldn't afford it.
