The support aspect of a warranty

[hassen1]

One thing I will not cover is the actual support quality of each manufacturer, that's hard to quantify and something only consumer satisfaction surveys or notebook manufacturer forum discussion boards can give you an idea of. If you see a low consumer satisfaction rating and are able to find a discussion board full of complaints you might want to consider how valuable any warranty is from that company -- a 1-year or 4-year warranty is worth little if the support you get in return is bad. Having said that, keep in mind when it comes to discussion boards people are more likely to post complaints than praises in regards to support.

In purchasing a laptop you need to realize that when you buy a specific brand you're buying into that company as well -- support and confidence in a company should certainly be a factor in your decision. A buying decision shouldn't all be based on technical feature to feature comparisons. Any company can sell a product, it's more challenging and expensive for a company to support thousands of customers when problems arise.

Damage to or loss of data is another item which is not covered by a laptop warranty. A laptop warranty will state quite clearly that any problems associated with software – whether bundled or installed by you, it will not be covered under the laptop warranty.You won’t find coverage for theft, damage or breakage caused by the owner in a laptop warranty. Those would be covered by an insurance policy.
