The consumer-level support people are in India, they were less than helpful!Sp!ke said:Errr... Glasgow to be precise
If they were built properly they'd not fail after 13 months. This is the exact argument I had with the Indian guy and he just repeated "OUT OF WARRANTY" more and more loudly until I gave up. I shouldn't have to buy an extended warranty package for something as expensive as a laptop when I expect it to last a couple of years at least, not precisely 1 month over their manufactured expiry date.Sp!ke said:With laptops at least (not necessary for desktops), make sure you pay the extra for 3 years next day onsite warranty and you will not regret it. Laptops are no longer component based - if anything fails its a motherboard swap @ £300... not something you wish to fork out for on a 13 month old laptop.
They should advertise that their products only last 13 months and then consumers would be able to make better decisions!
