Would this plan cover a refurbished laptop purchased from Amazon?

I'm not certain, but I did see another review that mentioned a refurbished Mac. I would give them a ring at 1-877-WARRANTY and ask.

I would suggest square trade especially if your laptop was newly bought elsewhere.. Not sure on refurbished I bought my CHROMEBOOK brand new through AMAZON & the square trade accident protection plan.. I believe you would have 30 days to purchase it along with the laptop you purchase from a different place.

Here's the info directly from the 3 year contract- For laptops and tvs under 37" if they repair they do send a shipping kit. If over 37" they arrange for a local repair facility. Once claim is filed they first check with the manufacturer, if repair or replace then Square trade covers repair or replace. Even if the manufacturer refused to cover it because it was bought from an unauthorized retailer, Square trade will still cover repair or replace.

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.

In our experience, this warranty covered a regular mechanical failure, and while ours was new, I believe it can cover computers sold as refurbished, but not used.

There are two types of warranty protection offered from ASUS, the first is a two year warranty and is basic in form. The second warranty is known as a accidental damage warranty that is also through the company via ASUS only applies to certain computers and is known as the ADP program good for one year. I certainly hope that this helps, and yes this particular laptop is covered.

I would think so as it is an accident protection plan like if you drop it or step on it, and my understanding is that refurbished equipment sold from Amazon still has a year warranty

This is a really good question. My uneducated guess is "no." While SquareTrade does cover used and refurbished computers purchased on E-Bay it looks like the terms for that coverage are significantly different from the terms of the plans sold on Amazon. Also, the price is a quote that's dependent on the E-Bay seller, etc. and there's no such "look up" or quote feature on any of the plans sold on Amazon. At www.squaretrade.com/our-coverage it says "For Refurbished & Used Items Purchased from eBay: Coverage lasts 1-2 years, as indicated at the time you purchase your Protection Plan. This coverage starts on the day after the manufacturer's warranty expires, or if there isn't a manufacturer's warranty, on the 46th day after your item purchase. Note: This means that your item is not covered for issues occurring within the first 45 days after you purchase your item. Coverage for Used items is only available for items sold on eBay." Good Luck!

I am not sure, I would just look on the specs to see if this device is listed as being covered.

Keep in mind amazon has a full refund policy. So after you see the cover , you can determine if this seam issue will be a problem.

On the Amazon website it clearly says " Worldwide Coverage If you need a repair while abroad, send us a valid repair receipt for your item and we will reimburse you within five business days." I haven't actually tested this claim myself but I bought my laptop and ST warranty in the US and I'm now in the UK and I bought the ST warranty on the strength of the recommendations by two friends who did the same.

Looking on squaretrade.com, this doesn't appear to be a plan suitable for a laptop. Their 3 year protection plan for laptops is priced at $299.99. $110 discount on that seems a bit far fetched (if it sounds too good to be true...).

I'm not sure. I would call Amazon and ask. They have people that only answer laptop questions and they helped me alot :)

For Refurbished iPhones & iPads: Coverage lasts 2-3 years, as indicated at the time you purchase your Protection Plan. This coverage begins upon the expiration of any existing manufacturer's warranty. For Refurbished & Used Items Purchased from eBay: Coverage lasts 1-2 years, as indicated at the time you purchase your Protection Plan. This coverage starts on the day after the manufacturer's warranty expires, or if there isn't a manufacturer's warranty, on the 46th day after your item purchase. Note: This means that your item is not covered for issues occurring within the first 45 days after you purchase your item. Coverage for Used items is only available for items sold on eBay.

I bought my computer from Amazon and got the plan when I got the PC. I don't see why you couldn't buy it from Amazon except that maybe it's unfair to them that you didn't get it from them. Ask them, I'm sure thay can tell you the correct answer. No harm in trying.

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 :)

Not necessarily but it would be best because you know that your computer is insured as soon as you get it and they will replace it if it is damaged in shipment.
