Dell Warranty - Ex Display Laptop

glenbois

I bought an ex-display Dell Inspiron about a week ago and my wife has just brought it back from a weekend away, so it's the first time I have been able to take a proper look at it.

All seems fine but I do like my Dell warranties, especially the next day, come to the house type warranty. I looked up the warranty status for the machine and it runs out in July 2013.

I bought the machine from Tesco.

What are my options?

extend the Dell warranty in July off my own back?

don't extend it in July and not be able to get an extension in the future?

I have a one year warranty with Tesco.

I was wondering what Tesco will do, if it actually breaks down within a year and how they would get a repair done on an out of warranty (with Dell) laptop.

I said that the machine seems fine, but I did one of the Dell's audit and it failed a couple of tests on the 500gb hard drive and had a message to back everything up as the hard drive is likely to fail in the near future.

I was going to find out how much a two year extension to the warranty would cost from Dell and then ask Tesco to pay half?

What are people's thoughts?
