is it Nearly $300 for 3 year warrenty or just for extra (2 year warrenty + 1st year Free )warrenty so total is 3year only.

So laptop max warrenty is 3 year la include the 1st year Free liao?>

Compare $300 / 3 year / 365 day = $0.27 Cent only per day
then if $300 / (2 year , 2nd and 3rd year ) / 365 day = $0.41 cent only leh per day.
At 1st see Extra $300 like bo huanot worth it for a cheap $1.5K laptop.
Not as if the laptop is $3K+ so die die need to buy extra warrenty cos $300 is just 10% of the $3k laptop, ratio is 1:10

but comapre to $1.5K laptop ratio is 1:5. like not worth it.
next time laptop spoilt just buy another $1.5K laptop lor , can get extra 1 year warrenty since new laptop sure had @ least 1 year warrenty..... and better newer technology. IT keep on fall ma.
your $1.5K can buy better laptop next time.

Unless u the sway type, After 1st year finish then start to spoilt ...... worst is LCD or Mobo spoilt / intergated graphic spoilt or , Cpu spoilt can LL liao....
if HDD spoilt or keyboard spoilt cdrom spoilt, usb or battery spoilt still can be save


Actually for 20cent ~ 50cent everyday is quit cheap too for your future laptop breakdown investment.

20 cent ~ 50 cent / day just for a peace of mind also nmv ok one ma.
a glass of can drink vendor machine outside already 80cent liao. i drink alsomot every day or take bus every day too. bus already like 80 cent also.

Paiseh I OT liao.

Up to you to decide lor.

300 buck is for 3 year completecover which includes theft, accident, fire.
You can dont go for completecover

Check your total physical memory at System Information

[li_chenwei48]

if you are confident, take up the RAM and reinstall it
happened to when I tried to add 1G of RAM and the system didnt detect it.

Have you tried hold down the power button for about 5 to 6 seconds.

I suggest you send DELL an email asking them to explain.

By the way, are the RAM all from DELL?
