Notebook PCs: Warranty Enhancements
Notebook PC warranties vary greatly. Compare policies side by side so you can see what is and isn't covered on repairs for your notebook PC.
If you’re about to start recommending that your clients buy extended service plans for new notebook PCs, be sure to get a written statement detailing what’s included and not included.
Unfortunately, PC vendors won’t always tell you specifically what’s not included. Sometimes, you’ll only be able to surmise what’s missing by comparing written warranty statements from different PC vendors.
Hazard Coverage
For example, most notebook PC vendors specifically exclude warranty claims arising from obvious neglect issues, such as spilling liquid on a notebook or dropping it. Other notebook PC vendors, for a hefty price, may cover such calamities under limited circumstances.
Also, consider whether your clients’ end users will be traveling with their notebook PCs. Unlike their desktop PCs, which likely stay relatively stationary throughout their life cycle, notebooks go "on the road" a lot.
International Coverage
Some notebook PC vendors include international warranty coverage in the base price of the extended warranty. Others charge extra for this supplemental coverage. Regardless, if your clients’ end users of notebook PCs travel abroad, be sure to ask about specifics.
Just as with a desktop PC, find out whether the notebook PC extended warranty is on-site, whether technicians come to your clients, or whether your clients will need to ship their notebooks back to a service depot for warranty work. Also, ask about promised response times and estimated turnaround times.
The Bottom Line about the Notebook PC
Make sure you have reviewed a price list of available notebook warranty upgrade options. Also, examine the related terms and conditions of what is and isn’t covered under various warranty upgrade plans. Find out if the notebook PC warranty limits coverage under certain circumstances.
