No you dont and as this computer is used by my grandchildren I certainly see its value.

I think it falls under Amazon's plan since you're not buying it from Apple: "Amazon.com Return Policy: You may return any new computer purchased from Amazon.com that is "dead on arrival," arrives in damaged condition, or is still in unopened boxes, for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Amazon.com reserves the right to test "dead on arrival" returns and impose a customer fee equal to 15 percent of the product sales price if the customer misrepresents the condition of the product. Any returned computer that is damaged through customer misuse, is missing parts, or is in unsellable condition due to customer tampering will result in the customer being charged a higher restocking fee based on the condition of the product. Amazon.com will not accept returns of any desktop or notebook computer more than 30 days after you receive the shipment. New, used, and refurbished products purchased from Marketplace vendors are subject to the returns policy of the individual vendor."

If you buy a new computer directly from amazon or any seller, you can buy Applecare for it. I bought mine from a secondary seller who wasn't an authorized dealer and all I needed was the amazon receipt as proof of purchase to register my Applecare.

The warranty was only US. You have to send the computer to the repair shop and they send it back to your US address. You have also to pay (FedEx, etc.) for delivering to the repair shop in Texas. Hope, it clarifies.

No, the computer is actually brand new. One year warranty from manufacturer. This computer is cheap, slow and not worth the money.

Nope. Have to buy warranty within 30 days of original purchase. Only available on "used" kindle if sold by Amazon as a refurbished kindle.

Hi Tarun, It comes with a one year limited warranty depending on who you by your computer from. I bought an additional warranty through Square Trade. Hope this helps!Step

Yes however I went for the 2 year warranty that covers everything and they just send a replacement computer. One year is really short and if the device has issues; repair is too expensive to make it a acceptable option. I'm a systems engineer and manage thousands of systems... PC's have become a commodity. If there's issues throw it away and get a new one. Just my opinion... ~Jim

Hello Brian The laptop is well built and comes with a one year factory warranty. I don't believe it is necessary to buy an additional warranty, unless you are going to do a lot of traveling by air. Great choice and enjoy your new computer!

I purchased an extended "square trade" warranty with this computer which you can also buy through amazon, that would be my recommendation. They say it's "worldwide" coverage so if you damage it in another country I think that means they cover it, you should check with square trade.

Yes you can buy the warranty, but it has to be within 30 days after you purchased the laptop!

This is probably too late to help you, Mr. LaLonde, but I just found the information under the extended warranty product offered by Amazon and thought it may be of use to someone reviewing this information for the first time (like me). . . "Amazon.com Returns Policies: You may return any new computer purchased from Amazon.com that is "dead on arrival," arrives in damaged condition, or is still in unopened boxes, for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Amazon.com reserves the right to test "dead on arrival" returns and impose a customer fee equal to 15 percent of the product sales price if the customer misrepresents the condition of the product. Any returned computer that is damaged through customer misuse, is missing parts, or is in unsellable condition due to customer tampering will result in the customer being charged a higher restocking fee based on the condition of the product.

I didn't buy it. I think it totally depends on you. If you know the company is solid in their reputation, then I sure you will be able to make a decision as to whether its worth the purchase. I figure if it's something like a computer or electronic, I be more prone to buying a warranty then any other product...just depends on what it is;)Hope that helps,Mighty Counselor

I never actually got my laptop. But as a company that globally offers products, they literally can not refuse a manufactures warranty, and then you could be the additional warranty that amazon has.

no. I knew the computer was used. It was in the original box and was in VERY good condition. I would do business with this particular seller again. I actually did not get the computer I thought I bought. The problem was NOT with the seller. Amazon put it on wrong. the computer I got does the job but I would rather have gotten the one I thought I purchased the one I got was still a very good deal.
