Is a desktop computer considered a "large item"? I'm wondering if I would get in-home service for a desktop PC warranty.

The computer is light enough and I think I would need to take it to repair place. Thank goodness I have not needed this service as of yet, it is just good peace of mind.

This unit is a little larger than a laptop that weighs about 20lbs. I would not consider it for in-home service..

I did buy the warranty this time, although I usually don't buy extended warranties. But this one seemed to be fairly reasonably priced.

I'm not all that sure whether they cover electronics like computers or not. I did get the coverage for a wireless router and booster combination but ended up sending the item back so I cancelled the coverage. I know they were very good to work with. But that was through Amazon so I'm not sure how they'd react if I went up against them alone. Amazon actually got me the full refund for what I paid to Smart Guard. I do know they cover a LOT of stuff... ask them. They'll tell you whether or not they will. If the computer you're buying has a "smart guard" offer with it then yeah, they'll most likely cover it.

Brandon, Yes, to both of your questions. Please note that the proper installation of any component that does not damage the computer will *not* void the warranty on the system.

The question about the warranty seems to change depending on who you ask. I think the best policy would be to go directly to MSI and then if they say yes, get it in writing (through an email I'm thinking).

If the computer, or Apple product, is a "current" model that is being offered by Apple, then Yes. All items come with 90 support and one year warranty on the parts and labor. Depending on the cost of the item, you might want to think about purchasing an extended warranty. You could buy either AppleCare (more expensive) or a third party warranty. Usually an electronic device will fail within the first 48 hours of continual use.

I use this for my desktop and doesn't present a problem. I don't use my desk top that often but when I do I'm usually one it a couple hours at least. Works fine for me.

Not covered if computer is refurbished and purchased through Amazon. eBay refurbished computers would be covered.

This can be placed into a desktop. I have this in my new computer build and it does a marvelous job.

the computer I purchased from amazon had viruses on it and it didn't work property. Go figure a new machine. Plus there was no access code to use the microsoft office suite even though I have emailed the amazon and the company two times. This warranty didn't cover it b/c it doesn't protect against software issues. If I had to do it over again, I would not buy a computer from amazon. The price might be lower than others but I found it was not worth the aggravation and frustration.

I'm not sure, most products this expensive offer like a 1 Year Warranty. From what I heard though, Dell Support is horrible.

I believe that it did come with a limited warranty. It may have been 30 or 90 days which either are now expired. I have had no problems with the monitor. My experience with LCD monitors is that they are quite reliable and hence a low risk for used purchases. Desk top computers are riskiy. I bought a used Dell 720 at the same time. It was one of those lease back type units that was resold by a liquidator on Ebay. The desk top had a 30 day warranty. It worked for about 6 months before the hard drive crashed. I dont think Ill buy any more used computers. Monitors? I think its pretty safe. I believe that it did come with a limited warranty. It may have been 30 or 90 days which either are now expired.

Warranty comes with purchase price of the drive. I've never heard of having to purchase a separate warranty for a hard drive or any other computer component.

This listing is a desktop model. We can however provide the mini tower upon request. We include the Win 7 restore disk in the package. Thanks

I am not a PC expert but I have been messing around with computers as a hobby for years. My guess is that it will be fine. In general you can go from bigger to smaller fairly easy. It's much more difficult to go from smaller to larger. With that said the screws might not line up correctly so you might need some sort of an adapter case. I am not sure.

I normally don't recommend purchasing an extended warranty and don't buy them myself BUT...if you are buying a computer or any other expensive item from Amazon I feel you should buy the best extended warranty you can. I did not do that on the last computer I bought from Amazon and I now regret it. it was a name brand computer that I had excellent results with in the past. Even a good company can sell an occasional lemon.

I've long since donated it to charity, the short USB and audio cables being a huge part of the reason (the grainy picture the other part), but if I remember right, it was no more than a foot.I think Amazon should make sure info like this is included in the description before allowing hardware to be listed. Few people have actual desktop models these days. Most PC users have midtower sizes tucked at the bottom of a table or desk.

No, that is not normal. Computer hardware normally depreciates over 3 years, so any acceptable use and wear/tear should be longer than 3 years. I would go here ( https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair ) and see if you are eligible. If you are not, write their customer support and see if they will make an exception. Also, see if Amazon will help, they're pretty cool about stuff like this.

This is strange Amazon has simply forwarded your question to an other new resent purchaser of this product. I happen to know that the product is covered by the warranty for up to a year during that time you can decide to purchase an extended warranty. Having said this you must be careful any dents dings or sometimes even scratches on the Air and the warrany becomes void. I've chosen to buy a protective covering for my computer (much cheaper) not the extended warranty. The product is well built so if you take care of it it will take care of you. Paying for any repair may be the way to go. I did this with my teenage kids who were quite rough with there laptops for five years so far I've spent $400/$500 in repairs and upgrades on my daughters laptop neither had protective covering which my daughter could have done with as she really used and abused her laptop. What do you know a very detailed response from a man who has the time to respond. Your luck good luck with your decision. Max :)
