Decent laptop insurance -PLEASE HELP

Hey guys,

I've bought a new Asus Vivobook S500CA Touchscreen laptop and as I paid near £500 for it i would like to get some insurance on it. I am looking for recommendations that would replace the laptop if something did happen to it in a quick and easy manner. I would want a touch screen laptop again and not a replacement that is just similar in spec with no touch screen.

Could anyone please help?

Thanks,
Darren

    Your home insurance is the most cost effective cover and provides new for old coverage (in most cases)

    As above home insurance possibly the best for paying out and getting a fair deal, But it could cost you a fair chunk of that £500 if you did have to claim for it.

    Excess? or increased premiums for upto 5 years?

    Best insurance is to look after it and not put it in the situation where most people seem to claim for.

    Dont place your cups on the flat surface, I know a couple of people that do that. Look at this nice flat spot for a cup...
    Dont perch it on a stool with the wires trailing across the room whilst kids and dogs run riot.
