    Deciding on how much warranty would best determined based on the type of machine that you have, and how diligent the person behind the computer monitor is. Those will be factors in deciding whether you need an extended warranty or not. Questions that you should ask yourself might include, do I think that the computer will run into trouble whether it be hardware or software. The whole purpose of a warranty is so that whenever you need a replacement part it is available to you without cost. I believe it also allows a technician to remotely connect to your computer, some companies offer that additional service at no cost. However, you would have to prove to them regardless that it wasn’t you who caused the problem with the machine. They will walk you through a bunch of tests that will h elp in finding out what the exact culprit that is causing the problem with your machine. Therefore, if this is the type of machine that will require constance maitenance and you dont take care of your machine properly, then extra warranty might be worth it. On the other hand, you might be the type of user who knows how to maintain a computer, so in that case 3 year warrants would be unnecessary. Keeping those things in mind will allow you to make a rational decison for yourself.
