It isn't about time, it is about tail risk and inconvenience. When there eventually is a problem, you don't want to have to deal with replacing the whole motherboard, or sending the laptop in somewhere. You just want to order a part and fix it in a few minutes.
- Traster 5y agoCompanies like Lenovo offer very good warranty services that solve this problem. They’re expensive in absolute terms but in the context of “how much do I earn per hour” they’re absurdly cheap. Likely their repair service is quicker than diagnosing, ordering a part and fixing a fault.
