    I'm strongly considering buying the Samsung X460 but it apparently only comes with a one-year warranty. Anyone have good leads on extended warranty plans (especially since this is Samsung's first US release)? I know that credit cards are an option for an extra year, but I'd love to hear feedback on others. (Or experiences if anyone's used a credit card warranty to get service--how quickly does the process work?)

    Newegg is offering extended coverage through Service Net, but a Google search showed some complaints about that service.

    Ideally, I've love something that approximates Dell's Complete Care. I'd buy another Dell (that's what I'm currently using) but the X460 looks like almost everything I ever wanted in a laptop....

    You could ask Portable One for details of the coverage of their 3 year extended warranty option. P1 may not be the cheapest source, but their customer service and support is among the best.
