Acer extended warranty

BarGin

I'm thinking of purchasing an Acer laptop soon and would like to add an extended warranty. I've been looking around and the prices seem to vary wildly.

The cheapest I have found is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000225LCS/qid=1147635091/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_0_1/203-6346052-4737553

Does this look genuine for 3 years onsite service?

You haven't said what the laptop costs, or how much the warranty would cost from Acer itself!

You may be able to form a judgement by comparing what Dell charges on one of their cheaper laptops (Latitude D520, retailing about £800 inc VAT):

* 1 Year European Collect and Return Service (included in price)
* 1 Year International Onsite Service with Next Business Day Response (+£90)
* 3 Year European Collect and Return Service (+£115)
* 3 Year International Onsite Service Next Business Day Response (+£150)
* 4 Year International Onsite Service with Next Business Day Response (+£210)

Seems a bit too cheap to me...Acer Advantage Warranties are usually around £50ish for the 3 years Light Collect and Return or £80ish for the same with included Accidental damage cover.

I got one from R L Supplies but Ebuyer sell them for a similar price.

On reflection I think it's safer to stick with the £50 Collect & Return.
