Jai >>> I've bought several Dells (desktops and laptops) over the years, and I've never felt the need to pay for more warranty on top of the one-year warranty Dell gives you anyway. My thinking on this has been (a) Anything that's faulty is likely to fail fairly early on in the life of the machine; otherwise the probability of breakdown is low (b) Dell's extended warranty is a very expensive way of insuring against a low-probability event. So in my view the risk is not worth the expense. I have had one or two failures within the first year, and Dell have fixed them for free. But the *very* few things I've had to get fixed myself within the next three years have cost me nothing like insurance premium Dell charge. (Actually, the only thing I can think of is a NIC that cost less than a tenner.) That's been my experience. But let's see what others think.
