    Just some research i'm doing because i'm in the market also. Here to help you guys out :) And please correct me if i'm wrong thanks!

    Microcenter $1049 - $250 rebates - $100 instore CC rebate = $699, $799 if not instore and probably no tax either if you buy it online in certain states. Extended warranty 3 year + $320 that covers screen and laptop = $1019 +tax after rebates;

    Total paid with extended warranty before rebates = $1369 + tax

    understanding of warranty: covers everything execpt battery unless the battery got surged found defective from date of purchase. extended warranty is buyable 90 days before laptops 3 year expires

    Samsclub $950 + extended warranty 3 year 54.99 = $1004.99 + tax

    understanding of warranty: covers everything execpt battery unless battery got surged or found defective. Returnable 6 months from date of purchase. then covers 3 years after the manufacturers warranty runs out total 4 years of coverage. 6 by manufacturer and 3 1/2 years by sams. extended warranty buyable before 3 years expires also.

    Total 1004.99 + tax out the door

    Conclusion if your loooking to buy a laptop with extended warranty go with Sams. If not getting a warranty go with Microcenter. I would suggest getting an extended warranty.

    Does Sam sell the 3200 series ?
    I doubt if it even carries the better 3225HS.
    If not, then for now, the best price is at Microcenter until 4/25.
