Is it worthwhile to extend the warranty for a 1500 Euro laptop?

It's about a 13 inch notebook from Asus. The Rog Flow X13.

This was ordered from Saturn. Now there are several ways to insure your device or extend the warranty. I'm interested in the warranty extension to 4 years. Costs: 8.50 euro per month.

The device is mainly used at home and is only taken with you now and then.

The reason I'm interested in this is because of extremely bad experiences with Apple notebooks. So within 2 years I had several defects, including the keyboard and the graphics card. And that on 3 different devices.

Son nonsense! You have a 2-year warranty and if it breaks after 3.5 years, it is hardly worth more than the 400 euro that you have paid until then and in case of doubt, the damage is not covered anyway. Better buy something that is easier to repair and not throwaway scrap. What should the laptop be able to do?

It would probably be worthwhile for Apple devices to read through the contract and the small print.

An alternative is the AppleCare guarantee from Apple. This extends the Apple warranty and gives you a discount on Apple repairs that are not covered by the warranty, e.g. B. Broken display (e.g. Due to physical damage).

I found the one that doesn't make sense from top to bottom. Too small to gamble on it, but has a graphics card and that for at home? And then so lightly that it becomes extremely loud, that's worse than any macbook! https://geizhals.eu/asus-rog-flow-x13-gv301qh-k6034t-90nr06c1-m02920-a2455554.html the most violent processor, but it doesn't bring anything to the chain, because only single channel ram and the only 512GB ssd you regret faster than you think

jut, since it is a convertible, you can pay for an extended warranty because the display will eventually splinter if it falls down unfavorably. Much better, you take distance from the part and buy something with which the problems are not to be expected and where you can simply swap parts if you feel like it

I don't like Apple either, but for some (Apple) programmers or for people who work in a company that works with Apple devices, it makes sense.

The warranty relates to the dealer and only to damage that was already present when the device was delivered. If the damage occurs within the first 6 months, the dealer must arrange for a repair or (if necessary in court) prove that the damage (or the source of the damage) was not already present at the time of delivery. After 6 months, the reversal of the burden of proof comes into effect and from then on the buyer would have to prove that the damage was already present at the time of delivery, which is rarely the case.

There's then a voluntary manufacturer's guarantee, usually one year for electrical appliances, even with Apple.

Apple devices are expensive, a Macbook can cost 2000 euro and is still worth significantly more than 400 euro even after 2 years and a repair that is not covered by a guarantee can be very expensive.

After all, he doesn't want to buy an apple, he has had an apple and with it bad experiences. The experience with the desired asus will certainly not be better!

lo

48 x 8.50 euro that is a total of 408 euro

towards the end of this period, the device is no longer worth that much. I would be satisfied with the normal warranty for 2 years. Especially since what is likely to break afterwards is the hard drive. You can change the latter yourself without a lot of screwdriver experience and the costs for the new "drive" are manageable. Data recovery is definitely not included in the guarantee. I.e. Make backups regularly.

You're right, I didn't read the question correctly.
