I'm going to get an ave c3500 soon. Do you think an extended warranty from retailers is neccessary? I haven't own any notebook or tablet pc before, so I want to know if they are they easily damaged, & I get mixing information from forums.

I'm rather pro extended warranties for computer equipment. There is nothing worse than something breaking one day after the manufacturer's warranty is over.

Just to inform people, if I'm not mistaken, I heard, Wal-Mart's warranty covers $200 food damage & Sam's Club's 3+1 yrs warranty is priced $198 for members.

"Wal-Mart runs an online retail Web site at www.walmart.com and a corporate Web site at www.walmartstores.com. A search of the former for uses of the word "warranty" found a link to TDK CD-R discs that carried a lifetime warranty. It also found three books about warranties. But it guided us to no information about any warranties in the TV department. On the corporate Web site, a search on the word "warranty" produced 0 matches.

Perhaps some of the individual TV pages would contain some warranty information? The online store sold 21 flat screen TVs. So we shopped for an RCA 40-inch wide screen HDTV monitor. Alas, there was no warranty information on that page, but there was a link at the bottom to "Product Warranty." There on the page was the phrase

"Warranty Length: 1 year parts, 1 year labor, 2 years picture tubes, in home service. Limited warranty"


There were no links advising shoppers how to request a full pre-sale disclosure of the warranty's terms, though the retailer's address and store locations could be found easily. A Returns Policy" page was equally mum about warranties. That's no surprise given that the word warranty is used only eight times on the entire Web site, according to Wal-Mart's own search engine.
