Hi discostu
I bought an HP laptop from BB this year - their price was very competitive with other retailers and web-based stores. They offered an extensive array of warranties and services with the unit. Most of the time, they are not worth the $$$.

My experience with laptops, is that when you take it in for repair, be prepared to be without it for several weeks. I had to return mine several times to COMPUSA before it actually got fixed. I am never buying anything from them ever again.

So if indeed you cannot afford being without a laptop for several weeks while getting repaired, it probably doesn't make sense to purchase a warranty extension, with prices falling, better off just getting a replacement.
