Remember too that a three year extended warranty on an item - isn't! You have at least a year's warranty on the product in the first place, so what is customarily sold to you is in fact, only TWO years of 'extension'.
When my TV failed some years ago - it took 11 days to get it back from repair.
If your laptop fails - who knows when 'The Tech Guys' and such like will get it back to you!
Better never to take on such warranties unless 'free' or costing mere pennies. Better to put the savings with many goods into spares - or for 'white goods' find a good repairman in your locality who will almost always be much quicker to solve your problem.
We have a Hotpoint washer/dryer which had an included one year warranty + a further four years of 'parts guaranteed'. Impressive, huh?
Thought I'd check out the details and two years ago there was a standard labour charge of - wait for it - a £105 per callout! Not exactly impressive, is it?
