    Does anyone know how do you get this? When I went down to the Dell booth at the IT show in my country today, they offered 3 years warranty + CompleteCover + Guard for S$325, which is roughly US$225.

    On the Dell website though, I can only find Dell warranty + CompleteCover for S$380, but it doesn't include CompeleteCover Guard. Does anyone know where I'm able to apply for that option?

    Honestly I'm not even sure what you're talking about.

    Dell's accidental damage coverage is called "Complete Care" for one, however I've never heard of "Guard" or anything of the sort. Do you mean "LoJack" as that can be bundled with Complete Care.

    I guess it is different in Singapore.
    In the US we have LoJack protection that provides theft recovery.
