What make of laptop is it. We bought an acer from the shop and they wanted nearly £200 for their cover. In the packaging was the deatails for acers own cover, 3 years cost us £100. Also entitles you to repair within 5 days if they got the parts in stock. We have found with many of out items the insurance is cheaper going direct. Incidentally we have just bought a new one from Aldi and it came with a 3 year warranty included.

Stick it on the house insurance, as companies do insure them at a lower rate
than a specialist insurer, I mean just tell your house insurer and they can amend
your house policy at a much cheaper rate, just make sure you want it insured for
outside on the move use.
