Warranty Options For Laptop Repairs

Unlike desktop computers, laptops are cute things that people can carry around. Laptop repairs pose less of a problem because of it, as lugging it off to the laptop service center is not much of an ordeal when on site service is not available. While this advantage because of its size is very much there, laptops are also better covered by warranties compared to other types of machines. This warranty protection not only makes laptop repairs easily available, it also makes buying of a new laptop much easier.

Every computer, whether laptop or desktop, is covered by the manufacturers warranty at the time of purchase. After that, many laptop manufacturers offer extended warranties that will cover all necessary laptop repairs, for the payment of a specified sum. These warranties may be on site warranties, where the computer technician will come to the location of the client and do the repairing, or warranties where the user will have to take the machine to the laptop service center of the warranty provider.

Warranties that provide on site help would obviously be more expensive, especially if the machine is located at quite a distance from the laptop service center. The other would work out cheaper, and the user will not be inconvenienced so far as he is not living too far away from the service center. The interesting part of extended laptop warranties is that it gets cheaper every successive year. The first year of the warranty, when laptop repairs could be few as the machine will be comparatively new, could turn out to be a bit expensive for the user. But after that, the annual charges will come down, and will decrease further every following year.

A three-year extended warranty could cost the computer owner about one-fourth the cost of the computer. Those who can fix their laptop problems themselves may find it a bit costly. But for those with limited technical know how this can be very helpful as it will cover his entire laptop repairs requirements for the ensuing three years. It is not just laptop service that an extended warranty covers. Most of these warranties have a provision whereby when a fourth repair becomes necessary for the laptop, the warranty provider will replace the machine rather than repair it. This provision, known as 'no lemon policy, enables the computer owner to have a new computer in the place of the old one.

In short, these warranties cover more than just laptop repairs. Under the terms of the extended warranty, the new machine will not exceed the price of the one that was covered by the warranty. Still, even if it is costlier, the laptop owner generally has to pay only the difference in the cost, which in most cases would be minimal. All types of laptop service will be available without warranty also. There are companies catering to different computer repair needs including for a laptop. Many of them have statewide and countrywide branches. Those who are not covered by any type of warranties should select one such laptop service provider so that they are not left in the lurch when their laptop strikes work.

Needless to say, the Dell Inspiron 15 is somewhat lacking compared to other models out on the market. If you want to hook this notebook up to an HDTV, the television will have to support VGA. Many of them only have HDMI ports these days. Fortunately the PC's 15.6" 16:9 glossy display is very bright, glossy, and clear, so you probably won't even need to hook it up to an external display or TV.

Nevertheless, this is still a great choice as an everyday computer. It will keep you connected wherever you go, and you will be able to surf the internet, shop, and chat with friends. You can also listen to music if you want. It should be noted in this Dell Inspiron 15 review that the speakers on this notebook are really impressive. The speakers provide clear, high range audio. However, the volume might not be as loud as you would like, so you might want to use external speakers or a good set of headphones.
