so i've almost decided on a dell notebook..
but now i need some opinions..
friend of mine suggested that i get a 2 year warranty. however, that tacks on $129 to the price. at first i was thinking i would just stick with the 1 year, but i found a coupon last night that knocks 15% off the total price, and that saves me a big chuck of change. so now i'm considering it. usually i don't bother with any extended warranty, but with my luck, the thing would crap out in 1 year and 1 day.
vote, please!

Don't take this the wrong way, I'd do the same... but just look at what is happening. They give you 15% off, then you think, well I was planning on spending this much anyway... lets upgrade something! I've done it I admit.
I see their little plan and I go for it everytime!
I'd go for the: 1 Year Limited Warranty plus 1 Year At-Home Service [add $69]
