Why is it important to find out if a laptop is still under warranty?

Laptops take a lot more wear and tear than desktop computers. Knowing what coverage your laptop warranty provides can protect you from financial burdens when your laptop runs into problems. It is equally important to read, understand, and even compare warranties from different brands before you make that big purchase.

What happens if my laptop is out of warranty?

When a computer goes out of warranty, these protections are null and void. Manufactures are no longer required to keep replacement parts in stock, so if a component fails, you may receive a part that is not made for your specific system. The computer may not function optimally, and your productivity may be affected.

Is it necessary to service a laptop?

Expert's advice that you should get your laptop serviced at least once a year so that with proper cleaning and proper aid, your laptop is ready for use with reduced risks of sudden breakdowns.

What should a consumer keep in mind when reviewing a written warranty?

If possible, when making a large purchase you should review the warranty before you buy the product. You want to evaluate the warranty's coverage, whether it offers repair or replacement, the reputation of the manufacturer and service provider, and the duration of the warranty.
