>>>I just picked up a new Dell Laptop at Staples yesterday, and on the box it said something like "A Minimun 12 month warranty", but when I registered it gave me a 18 month warranty. Anyone else notice this, I have never seen anything labled this way before. It was a touchscreen model.

>Hmmmm..... I didn't buy the staples warranty, you think that has an impact on offial Dell Warranty?

Companies that sell extended warranties make money on them because the odds are good that most people won't need them. Over the years I opted to never buy extended warranties and so far I am money ahead.
