Sqauretrade Warrenties?

[mrod862]

So, I got a new laptop last month and have been obsessing of getting it cover under a warrenty...Now, I keep getting things in the mail from Best Buy but I have been hearing more bad things than good about the Best Buy Black Tie protection...

Now, I was wondering if anyone here has dealt with SquareTrade? I havent even heard of them before now but have been reading a lot of good things about them...


Best Buy Black Tie Protection would cost me 230$ for three years(not even sure if this covers accidental damage)

SquareTrade would cost me 189$ for three years and that's with accidental damage coverage.

I had (have?) Squaretrade on my iPod Touch. I've had it for a few years now, so it may be expired. The peace of mind alone was worth the investment.

I frequent a website called consumerist and searched on Squaretrade. First let me say they hate anything best buy related.

This was an article about how squaretrade was really good. You can poke around there some more to see what you find. The information is usually really reliable and they are backed by consumers union which publishes consumer reports.

I actually have SquareTrade for my phone, since I bought it used on eBay. Their prices are very reasonable and the things the warranty covers is pretty encompassing.
