I fail to see how this relates. If you must know, I currently repair ATM and Point of Sale computers for Stewart’s Shops Corp. Prior to this, I was a Geek Squad “Double Agent” for 3 years. I know plenty about warranty cost vs cost of expected repairs. Please don’t kid yourself.
Ignorance? Really? I’m the ignorant one because I realize that 3 year old laptops are worth about 20% of their original value. Buying a warranty on a >$1000 laptop is completely retarded no matter which way you slice it. If you paid $2000, and the warranty is $100… be my guest. But otherwise, your $1000 computer can be replaced by something faster for $400 in 2 years so why bother?
Most common failure = hard drive = cheapest part
