Re: [Thinkpad] Re: Warrantee for $167

Actually, if you have a high end out of warranty machine or a high end refurb, it is a good deal.

  Not a good deal.

  Check on the ibm site for an extension; most models
  may be extended from the basic 3 to 4 or 5 y.ears
  YMMV: You may not be able to do this once your
  original warr expires, and some models are not
  eligible (such as refurbs). The ibm extension is a
  much better deal - you'd get 2 years of factory ibm
  service for about that $.

  see
  http://www-132.ibm.com/content/home/store_IBMPublicUSA/en_US/main_warranty_service_upgrades_personal.html
  and
  http://www-132.ibm.com/content/home/store_IBMPublicUSA/en_US/main_warranty_service_upgrades.html

  imo, notebooks are one of the few consumer products
  where the extended warrantee is worthwhile. I'm a bit
  predjudiced as ibm's 3yr wr saved me from having a
  $2450 paperweight.
