I know a lot of people say its best to get an extended warranty and accidental damage insurance on a laptop. Consumer reports says that its a good idea, for laptops at least, to get an extended warranty (from the manufacturor, not from the reseller). But how often do laptops fail? Extended warranties can end up being 1/4 to 1/2 the price of the system.
I'm wondering how many of you have actually had to use your warranty or accidental damage protection, or how many of you have wished you got it after having something go wrong.
I'm trying to decide if I should stick with the basic manufacturors 1 year warranty or go with an upgrade and fork out the dough to pay for something that isn't guaranteed to pay off in the end.
