Laptops

If there's any way you can get an extended warranty for it, GET IT!

There are two things in life you should absolutely without question buy extended warranties for: cars and laptops.

My iBook doesn't have an extended warranty, and I greatly regret not having one.

I can't stress enough how useful they are.

Actually, for the price of extended warranties, they just aren't worth it and the hassle and what they cover. I have mine covered under my homeowners insurance. So, if ANYTHING EVER happens to it, as long as I am paying insurance on it, I get the full purchase price back - no questions asked. This includes things like theft, spills, me getting angry and throwing it, or running over it with my Jeep.

I'd be very interested in reading the terms of your homeowners policy and riders, as well as knowing how much it costs to insure against intentional damage. Does it cover manufacturers defects as well?
