Usually not worth it. Many credit cards will double your warranty at no cost.

I just contacted Asus myself and they said that the "Asus 360" warranty is 2 years on all laptops. This means either 1) Amazon is misinformed or made a misprint, or 2) Amazon is falsely advertising by claiming this comes with Asus 360 warranty when it doesn't.

Hi Kari. I can't recall what the manufacturers warranty was. Probably 1 year. However, I would recommend looking at Squaretrade.com for warranties. They are much cheaper than stores, and they help you manage all of your warranties under one website. I love that part of it. I know people who have made claims, and apparently it was very easy. I believe I purchased this laptop for a client, and do not have it listed in my Squaretrade account.

i think it was a 90 day warranty because its refurbished.. i believe it is with the manufacturer... its pretty solid though - i've been using it 2-3 times a day and it's a work horse - highly recommend it - saving money with it being refurbished is a plus.... i'm not big on insurance though.. if you want piece of mine - you might want to buy it retail new and get the extended warranty

I bought mine when I bought my computer. The price was so reasonable I could not find a reason not to buy it. So I don't know if there is a time limit to purchase the warrantee after you buy the computer.

Yes, one year with option to extend it. The information is build into the system. I was afraid for a moment when you asked because I am not very good at saving the paperwork. There is a My Dell Folder, it verifies the computer, and gives the warranty expiration date. Lots of stuff from Dell; maybe some day, I will check the rest out. Have fun with it.

I think that if you purchase a new model that the warranty is one year. However, I purchased a refurbished unit for $799 through an Amazon supplier, Adgtron, and got an extended warranty of 5 years from date of purchase for $89.

Most manufacturers give you a one year warranty. Contact the manufacturer regarding an extended warranty.

I bought the warranties having just 'lost' two computers that weren't under warranty and the parts to fix them were no longer available. I bought them simply for the replacement value. I can't speak about Smart Guard because I don't remember what their warranty did and did not cover, but extended warranties are generally a poor investment. They know how long the product will last and their warranty periods take that into account. I understand you also have to fight them; they accuse claimants of mis-use, etc. I find it telling that you can't read Smart Guard's waranty prior to buying it, and after purchasing, it takes a while to get via the 'Net, giving you little time to 'return it'.

Yes, once you get/purchase it, and it comes in, you register your laptop, which then gives you the warranty and many other features. Hope this helps.

I think I got a one year warranty. I found that buying additional warranty wasn't worth the cost. I looked into it as I didn't quite trust what I'd be getting for this price. So far so good, 4 months into my purchase.

There was no extended warranty offered when I purchased this and I don't recall what waranty came with it. I have hade mine for six years and it has been used alot with no problems. I have also given this to a family member as a gift and they have had no problems with it. I woudn't worry about an extended warranty -- just isn't worth it.

Yes - You can buy an extended warranty for any allowed product as long as you do so within a certain amount of time (see their website: www.squaretrade.com) for details. It's really a good deal. I use it for almost everything I get that I think could fail as long as it's over $100 or so (in other words, I get it for electronics that cost $100 or more, but I wouldn't get it for clothes!) Check out their site. I've had good luck with them, and if you register, they keep track of all your warranties.

I year manufacturers and you buy extended warranty (Apple Care); probably on the Amazon site for a little than Apple would charge.

I think it depends on if you are buying "new" "used" or "refurbished" - in my case I bought mine new, it came with 1 year warranty if I remember right, I am sorry I cannot find my paperwork for it at the moment, but in my mind I think it is one full year.

You can purchase it as a gift directly from Square Trade. I have been a customer of Square Trade for over ten years. I have purchased dozens of extended warranties. There is no better warranty available. Square Trade understand 'Customer Service'.

Hi, I am not sure about that. There is a standard manufacturer's warranty that is valid worldwide. I purchased an extended warranty from SQUARE TRADE (3 years). But I do not know if that warranty is valid outside the USA. It is a good laptop.
