So, i ordered my laptop with a custom config and it will be built feb 1, i ordered a 3 year extended warranty and get an email the next day saying my warranty has shipped, i just assumed that was there way of getting it off the invoice and today a package shows up, 2nd day air, its a damn warranty for a laptop i wont even have for another week, wtf?



Anyhow, i am sure UPS will lose it.

your new laptop will breakdown in 2 years, 50 weeks, and 4 days.

they did that to me as well, mailed the warranty next day mail and the computer took another week to get

thats weird.



i've never had more than a 1 year warranty on anything i've owned. it seems like most problems occur within the first few weeks/months.. and for a cpu, well they are normally outta date within a year/two anyways..



at that point, time to buy a new one.

i have had this one for a little over 3 years, if it wasnt broken i would not being buying another, i've been very happy with it and it still does everything i need it too.

once you get passed the "I have to have the newest thing" mindset you realize that a 3-5 year old laptop does the same **** a new one does for the average person browsing the internet and doing photos and regular day to day crap. At that point it just seems like a waste of money, 3 year warranty is good, and it does not cost that much more then a 1 year- especially when it covers accidental damage like the HP warranty does.

the hp 3 year was only 129, the cheapest 3 year on any laptop out there, which i guess says something about their products, i browsed a lot of forums and everyone said the hp rocks, i was impressed when my dad's laptop crapped, they had the sucker turned around in nothing flat.



Back in the day when games and even software were outrunning the technology i was upgrading pc's on a fairly regular basis because i needed to so i could run the newer apps.



Like i said before i really like this one i have now, it does everything i want to do with it. it will be nice to have the dvd burner, the 17 inch screen and the shortkey number pad, i figured since i was forced to replace my current one i might as well upgrade

Are there any corporate entities that have not done something to **** you off? I'm currently pissed off at Home Depot, since they've overcharged me for an online purchase and can't seem to get the credit issued.

hp hasnt pissed me off, i just thought it was odd that they shipped a warranty to me 2nd day air for a laptop i wont have for another week.



home depot sucks, i think i am banned from one store here.

This sort of reminds me of how I got a "THANK YOU FOR DOING BUSINESS WITH US!" card from the Auto Shipper that NEVER followed through in picking up my FD for my florida buyer.
