Good day,
I'm doing some laptop hunting for a buddy and I found a potential option from Laptop Direct as it quite a bit cheaper compared to any of the competing retailers. I am interested to know what their services are like now as all reviews I've found are from several years back. Have they improved at all?
Also, another question - not that I would want to consider buying from Evetech, however I've noticed that they are able to offer longer 3 year warranties (for free supposedly???) on particular laptop models whereas most places are only offering a 1 year warranty on the same model. Does anyone know how they are able to do this? Or is this some scummy tactic?
When looking at Wootware as an example, I've noticed that they sometimes offer a purchasable warranty upgrade on certain laptop models from the standard 1 year to 3 years. Is this actually legal??
Lastly, are laptops with a 1 year warranty asking to break after a year or would they still be a viable option? Or would I need to do research on each individual laptop and not necessarily automatically assume that a 1 year warranty laptop is already doomed to die after a year?
Any advise on these questions would be greatly appreciated
