I bought something in Argos today, and the girl at the desk kept asking me if I wanted to purchase it. Money making racket if you ask me. Still, compared with most stores, the Argos staff are better than most.

One and half years later your tablet 'breaks', you have €129.99 to buy the latest tablet, or whatever you want really. If it breaks down under the 1 year manufacturer warranty, then the €42.99 is put towards the new replacement item, or refunded.

In Ireland as the statute of limitations is 6 years it means you have the right to take a complaint against the retailer to the small claims court for example, within 6 years of purchase. Your consumer rights do diminish with time so that must be taken into account. In addition you have to take into account the expected life span of the product in question. Also, you do not have these rights if you damage or break something yourself.

You virus check them and all that but nothing seems to work. They still function but at a speed that is too frustrating to use. Now if you brought back a laptop or tablet like that after 2 years how would it be seen ? As a software problem or a hardware one ? Also what is the life expectancy of tablets, laptops, etc. what does consumer law see as 'reasonable'?
