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.

Only if Dell accept payment for extended warranty on daily basis?? Haha..just joking only...
actually when i buy that time also think its not that expensive after you divide it by months, but sad to say i needed the 300 for other uses. so i compromise on that when i bought it lor..

Anyway my friend got the warranty ...dont want to risk he say...

Call the hotline and push them lor..... did you use the installment plan... if yes, maybe the delay is due to the bank's approval.

If it's installed you can use Ctrl+F11 on reboot to use it.

If it's not installed, you have 2 options:

1. Use your Windows XP disk to re-install

2. Ask DELL to restall the DELL PC Restore for you.
