New laptop with longer warranty

    Anyone have any recommendations for me for a laptop with warranty of more than one year. I recently got stung when my old laptop was just over a year old (out of warranty) and got hit with a huge repair bill from the manufacturer after already attempting repairs with local shops.

    I have 400-550 to spend and would want it for basic college work, internet/streaming and some games (football manager would be the height of it). However i'm guessing if i want to stretch the warranty it will cost more.

    Any help is appreciated :D

    just got stung by Asus over a netbook in warranty (brought August).

    slight keyboard problem but they reckoned liquid damage so a repair charge of e95 or return unrepaired for e50.

    that's one company X'd off my list for my next purchase.

    would rather cheaper goods with no warranty atm.:mad:

    go with the dell extended 3 yr, or get the complete care and you can drive over the laptop and they will replace all the parts:)

    Thinking of getting a Sony Vaio with the 3 year insurance pack. Anyone have any experience with this?

    The one in PC world let me put down a deposit of... 15 euro and they took the rest of the 150 euro out monthly. Just make sure you go through everything because I think the policy changes from time to time. And also, keep the papers, make sure you do.
