    Hey....so you got the 1730 you wanted!

    In your specs you have a 3 year complete care return to depot warranty.

    For what you paid...why not the 3 year complete care on-site warranty?
    Where the tech comes to you??? Is it different in Canada for warranties? ;)


    Cin ;) :)

    Yes, I understand! ;) Saving money is always a good thing!

    I have onsite on my 1530..the Tech. came and replaced my Motherboard and did a really good job with my lappy! So I was pretty happy! :)

    Enjoy that 1730 when you receive it! :)
