Is it worth taking Dell Service: Hardware Maintenance Accidental Damage Protection
Guys,
I'm planning to buy DELL STUDIO 15 was checking there website and came through this customization option for Dell Service: Hardware Maintenance :-
1) 3 Years Complete Cover Accidental Damage Protection [add Rs.8,509.64].
2) 2 Years Complete Cover Accidental Damage Protection [add Rs.4,045.80].
Need your suggestions, is it really worth choosing any of the additional Warranty options other than Dell's default Service option as if i choose additional Complete Cover Accidental Damage Protection it increases total cost too much.

Re: Is it worth taking Dell Service: Hardware Maintenance Accidental Damage Protectio
Hmmm ... Should be your call really ... Do you really wish to hang on to your laptop for 3 years ... Then maybe you should ...
But i'm sure it will not include battery replacement ... So personally, I wouldn't go for it ...

Re: Is it worth taking Dell Service: Hardware Maintenance Accidental Damage Protectio
I really think its very useful coz the laptop parts cost just too much....if u end up even damaging ur speakers it will cost more then 1-1.5k
Screen will cost more then 5k
Laptops r just too delicate...Soo be on a safer side

Re: Is it worth taking Dell Service: Hardware Maintenance Accidental Damage Protectio
It really worth taking complete cover for lappy.
I had opt for 1 yr. cover for Rs.900 (approx.)
It protects frm accidental mishappenings along with ordinary warranty.
Moreover gives peace of mind

Re: Is it worth taking Dell Service: Hardware Maintenance Accidental Damage Protectio
If not the accidental damage warranty, at least go for 3 years extended warranty.
I had got a lenovo R61 from college and within the first year the speaker,power adapter and motherboard had been changed. The DVD writer was also changes last week. I was lucky that as the college had purchased in large quantities, all the laptops got 3 year warranties else I would have had to pay for some of the repairs

Go with three year complete coverage rather then 1 year.
three year complete coverage is best VFM
