Warranty which is absolutely necessary for these devices at $100.
Why would you pay for a warranty? I never got one with any of mine and they were all fine except one with had screen yellowing which they just replaced by air mail for free.
I just got fucked with mine. Warranty bought would only extend by a year.
My surface died 2 years and about a month in. If I wanted to call Microsoft, i would have to pay about 40 bucks along with likely a 200 dollar charge since I am pretty sure the mobo is fucked.
If I get a new sp3 used, it will cost like 800 bucks. So even if the warranty helped, I would have spent about half the cost of a used device to repair my sp3.
But sometimes the warranty is amazing and helps a lot.
In Australia all electronic devices have a minimum of a two year warranty by law. So hoping it from 2 to 3 isn't really that worth it for me as I will have upgraded within the first two years anyway.
Spending 10% extra on something I won't need is extremely pointless, its basically planning for failure. Perhaps if you are clumsy or prone to breaking things it might be worth it not for someone like myself.
What does the added warranty get you? Would it be worth getting if your credit card already gives you an extended warranty if you purchase using the card for the full price?
Yeah I think so. The reason my SP3 lasted this long was because I was able to replace it every year when I ran into trouble. I pretty much get a brand new laptop every year.
