hi, just checked the warranty upgrade for the x201 i bought, these are the options:





None 0.00

ThinkPlus ThinkPad 3 Year Onsite Repair 5x9/Next Business Day Warranty Upgrade 66.96

WAMO 4 yr carry in 68.04

WAMO 4 year courier collect 76.68

WAMO 3 year onsite repair 5x9/next business day + HDD 82.08

ThinkPad Upgrade to 3 Year Customer Carry-In Repair 110.16

ThinkPlus ThinkPad 4 Year Onsite Repair 5x9/Next Business Day Warranty Upgrade 111.24

ThinkPad Upgrade to 3 Year Courier Collect Repair 120.96

ThinkPad Upgrade to 3 Year On-Site Service Next Business Day 133.92





what is WAMO? and what is the difference between the 66 pound thinkplus warranty and the 133 pound 3 year on site service next business day?



thanks in advance

Warranty and maintenance options. I wouldn't get bogged down in the wordage. There's three types of warranty - mail in, on-site and accidental coverage. They seem pretty self explanatory. If you got a used machine, accidental coverage is probably out. You need to decide whether you want depot or on-site warranty, then just the length of coverage. It's really a personal preference. I got the three year with accidental, but only because my notebook via eBay came with it. I wouldn't have paid extra for it. If you're somewhat handy, I'd opt against extending the warranty. About the only thing that would cost more than the warranty extension would be the board. The chances the board will go are small, though not zero. Plus, ThinkPads are pretty easy to take apart. If you're not too handy and want the peace of mind, then perhaps it's worth it.



P.S. - No bumps for 24 hours, per the forum rules.

sorry i posted it yesterday, i didnt really think about 24 hours lol, just that its a day.



i suppose since its not my primary computer i can go without the onsite service. i was just wondering why there were two types of onsite, i cant tell the difference between them, and the prices are different too.



i bought it on ebay and it came with a 3 year depot warranty (9 months already over)
