Well, if you accept that you COULD be paying X for two years of laptop usage, 
then fine. But as Liam mentioned, the warranty may be upgradable to 3 year - 
check into cost of this. And I am wary of C&R warranties - how long will they 
take to do the R part ? Dell's next business day call and fix warranty is bad 
enough (oh we don't have that exotic spare part right now - sorry - look at 
the small print). Something which starts of as less than that can only get 
worse. Of course, it all depends on how badly you want/need to have your 
laptop.
