Warranty
It is highly recommended that you purchase an extended warranty that will cover your notebook for the time that you will be in the program.
We also recommend that you purchase the onsite warranty if it is offered. This will ensure that you do not have to mail the computer off for work and will greatly reduce any downtime for a warranty repair.
