Correct me if I am wrong but if I buy from Dell for another £99 I get on site fault correction for 3 years.The one quoted above is from Aldi what type of warranty do offer,it says 3 yrs ,but is that return to manufacturer.Which is the best buy ,would you pay the £99 from Dell.

albertross_2

yes, but extended warranties are rarely value for money. if you put the same money into a savings account, over a lifetime you will be in profit.

The dell Next business day warranty is quite good. they will come and replace parts the next day without fuss once they have established its a hardware fault when you call them.

I had a mouse pad problem on a old laptop under warranty and they replaced it with a new one and all the bottom plastics as well so that it looked like new again and even put in a new keyboard for me.:D

If you buy a Dell with minimal warranty they will send you a letter offering a cut priced warranty when the initial warranty runs out.
