A PC Technician told me that electronics parts are wearable and have a lifespan. Just like the vacuum cleaner, television and other electronics you have at home, have wear and tear from heat, electricity fluctuations among others and will eventually be unusable
And with such ordinary wear and tear, the practicality and economics of how long an extended warranty should be purchased comes into play.
KINDLY POST AFTER Voting in the Polls....
Name of Laptop: (brand and model)
Cause of Defect: (FIRST defect your laptop had if any e.g. dead pixel, broken hinge, stucked keyboard, etc)
Cause of Death: (motherboard failure, electric surge...and If
your laptop had to replaced w/in or outside the warranty)
RIP: (When the laptop was replaced, where it went)
SAMPLE: #1
Name of Laptop: LG 96xx
Cause of Defect: dead pixel
Cause of Death: motherboard failure, replaced w/in 1 year warranty
RIP: August 2003, exchanged with a different PC)
OR
If your LG has not yet have a defect or died, or you have just bought it, you can write the age of your laptop
SAMPLE #2
Name of Laptop: LG 96xx
Status: 10 years old, still alive and kicking butts in warcraft & battlefield
Copy and paste the pattern above to be easier
Be creative...![]()

The aim of the poll is to identify when a first defect will appear and when a laptop will retire.
The use will be...
1. If more laptops are defective within a year only, then the extended warranty is not necessary to buy.
2. If more laptops are defective within 2 years then an extended 1 year warranty is necessary
3. If more laptops are defective within 3 years then an extended 2 year warranty is necessary
4. If more laptops are defective within 4 years then an extended 3 year warranty is necessary.
Through this poll, one can know whether it would be practical and economical to buy the extended warranty and up to what year.
I thought of putting it in the notebook general forum, but with the number of brands of notebook, it will fill up the page.
I will be asking the same question to all the brands so that the line of questioning is uniform. Just like in doing an experiment, all the parameters will be equal so as to avoid bias. :base:
The reason behind it is in different brand subforums so that one can distinguish also how their brand notebook compares to the other brand.
As I understand, some have magnesium casing, metal, etc. Others are made of different plastic. Some have different thickness of outer casing... So many variables...
No laptop is created with the same specs....
So by doing a separate Poll for each brand, one will get a better comparison.
Your LG Notebook LIFE SPAN
