    I've extended my normal warranty to 2years , another $300 and add on accidental warranty for $300. Total $600 for 2years warranty I was wondering if that's expansive? its like $300 per year.

    It seem a bit over for a m14x. New machine tops out 1.5kish iirc.
    700 can buy you a i7 +650m machine today.

    Though if you "accidentally" have accident with the machine then it's another story.

    Same as insurance policies, they're expensive but worth the price if something happens.

    I think it is, just wanted to jump in to congratulate you for the warranty acquired. You won't regret.

    Thanks. Quick question while I'm here. I do have the three year accidental, and next year will be my last year. Do you think they would just replace the battery for me before it expires? I only get about 2.5-3 hours now, and a new one would probably give it some life. Wont replace until 2014 though

    As far as I understand the battery is only covered for a year due to the differences on the battery wear depending on the users.
