    I say get it. I skimped on it but now I wish I got it the first time.

    I assumed too much without reading the warranties and what they cover. I'm now temporarily stuck with a replacement screen, still with dead pixels, that is too dim. I'm waiting for Malibal to receive the original screen, also with dead pixels, so I can reorder an upgraded screen WITH the pixel warranty and send this back.

    I've told my dead pixel story somewhere in this forum before, but to make a long story short, just get it.

    appreciate your suggestion! so,if i have insurance, they will give me a best screen or try to check the screen is best, otherwise i can only count on good luck.
    besides, the insurance is only for 30 days. Even though i don't have this insurance, if any dead pixels appear, i can just return this laptop with 30 days satisfaction policy, am i right ??

    It depends on the boutique you're buying from. Malibal's policies are as follows:

    -If you buy the dead pixel warranty, they will guarantee a perfect screen with ZERO dead pixels for 45 days. If there's a single dead/hot/stuck pixel, they'll exchange it for free with shipping covered.
    -If after 45 days, or if you didn't buy the dead pixel warranty, and your display has more than 6, they will replace it for free.
    -If any dead pixels (hot or stuck) are found and there are less than 6 of them, it will not be replaced.
