I'm having a look at the moment so might find out what I'm after, but I'm sure this has come up on here before.
I have a Dell laptop that is soon leaving its warranty. Naturally Dell are trying to sell me an extended warranty at an outrageous price, with the usual scaremongering about how my computer will no longer be repairable for free if something goes wrong.
Now, I'm sure that if you can prove something is a fault of the device, as opposed to something you've done, you should be able to expect a warranty over a reasonable 'lifetime' of the goods, the reason I mention white goods is that you'd expect one to last ~7 years, and I'm sure it's an EU directive that helps enforce this?
Could be way off the mark here, but could I therefore in turn reasonably expect my laptop to last ~3-4 years? Therefore claim under warranty any repairs as long as its a fault with the original product?
