Are Warranties for Your computer worth it?

Tweet

I would have to say yes, although at the time I bought my computer I thought I was probably wasting my money. However I have been having problems with this computer and had to call them to get them resolved. Also, I was told that I would be able to replace the battery for free if it went dead or below a certain charge time before the warranty was up. I had to also call to get a restore and driver disc because it did not come with my laptop. I of course didnt realize I would be needing it. The guy at Circuit city told me all I would have to do to restore it was hit f10 or something like that I now need the hard drive replaced. I have no idea how much that would have cost me without the warranty. I am fairly certain it would be more then the cost of the restore disk and the warranty. Plus they are going to send me a box with to retreive the computer and a list of what I have to include in it. So with the high price of laptop computers I would have to say if you are considering buying a new computer or laptop then consider how much it would cost you to replace it or at least the hard drive.
