Hey guys,

Were do you all stand on laptop insurance?

I’m going to be mobile a lot during the next 10 months or so; at Uni, and travelling to my school placements (PGCE) and I want to protect my new Dell Vostro from both damage and theft

I’d like to know what you lot have all got, what you can recommend etc.

The best I’ve come up with so far is:

"1 year Compucover insurance for Laptops less than £800 in value. Cover your Laptop against theft, accidental damage, fire & flood. No excess, worldwide cover with no travel limitations and no specialist security requirements." - laptopshop.co.uk

1 year for £39 – that should be enough as I will have probably sold it by the time the policy ends?

Can anyone better that

Cheers,

SW.

I just thought it would be better to have a dedicated policy?

So it sounds like a good deal then
