The big 3 laptop vendors (Dell, HP and Lenovo) all offer a next business day warranty, usually worldwide. To have an engineer show up at my home and business and repair the computer in a matter of hours is a much better experience than having to trek to an Apple store, make an appointment and be told that the entire unit has to be replaced.
- DangitBobby 4y agoHow much is that warranty going to cost? I seem to remember Dell's being $300 for 2 years.
- NorwegianDude 4y agoNothing at all the first year as it's included in the price for XPS machines.
- zamalek 4y agoThis is the most bizarre and foreign concept for Apple zealots.

- cromka 4y agoI am an Apple ecosystem user myself, but previously used Dells, Lenovos and HPs, and never without NBD warranty, so I laugh at all these reactions, too haha. Apple warranty is not bad, but in 8 years of using their products, they definitely deteriorated both in timing, willingness and quality of the repairs. And the frequency increased, too. I pretty much serviced each of my recent (~3 years) MacBooks and iPhones. Personal experience, but still, I used to praise them, no longer do.
- jupp0r 4y agoApple laptops come with a 2 year warranty by default. I've taken advantage of that probably ~10 times over the last decade. Not sure what you are implying.
- Symbiote 4y ago[1] says 1 year, but this will vary widely by country anyway. https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/mac-english.html https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/mac-english.ht...
- DangitBobby 4y agoI've seen this sentiment quite a few times on this thread. Pretty tiresome to see the same braindead comments over and over again. I've bought Dells, Macs, Lenovos, System76s, whatever. I found (find?) it hard to believe that anyone offers on-site support for a reasonable price.
- DangitBobby 4y agoLooks like that's true for some machines, they've got a $50-$100 discount across the board for some machines like the XPS 15, which makes the first year free. Without that, it's normally (for each year of the warranty): 1. $50 2. $100 3. $250 4. $400 So really pretty good for 2 years. I guess they are slightly more worried about it making it to year 4, though. 1. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/serviceselection/xn9520cto030s https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/serviceselection/xn9520cto03...
- jonathantf2 4y agoHPs is about £50 for 3 year NBD
- DangitBobby 4y agoThat's pretty good.

- yeputons 4y agoI guess it's only available if you have purchased the laptop in the US or some specific parts of the EU originally, isn't it? At least, I cannot see any way to purchase it or even extend the warranty for my laptop. I highly doubt such service is provided in Malta or Cyprus, for example, considering Lenovo only has a single authorized service center per each island, IIRC.
- bald 4y agoI'm living in Cyprus; had a Lenovo technician come here from Nicosia (~150 miles return) to fix my left-side USB ports of my ThinkPad T590 about six weeks ago. In the past, I've had come Lenovo to remote parts of Switzerland and Germany, as well.
- jupp0r 4y ago> remote parts of Switzerland and Germany There is no such thing. These are some of the most densely populated countries in the middle of the most densely populated regions of the world.
