Laptop insurance is becoming more and more popular with consumers these days.
Most end users are given the hard sell at the point of sale for their new laptop and are pressured into purchasing extended warranties or insurances that do not provide the level of comprehensive cover that users expect.
Prices vary by retailer but i have heard of customers that have paid as little as £5 per month to as much as £12 per month for a similiar level of basic cover.
All new laptops should come with at least a 12 month manufacturers warranty and some even have 3 years free depending on make and model. This warranty covers you against failure of the hardware on the laptop. If any component fails from the date of purchase then it is upto the manufacturer to repair the laptop. With this warrranty you are not covered against accidental damage, loss or theft.
If you want comprehensive cover you will need to purchase a seperate insurance for your laptop or use your home insurance if you are covered. Laptop Insurance can be purchased seperately from your laptop and often saves money as the retailer is not putting there commision on. One household name in gadget insurance is Protect Your Bubble.
