Just so I can get my head around the prices, I converted them to US Dollars: $1692 for the laptop, about $62 for the warranty. If your notebook really is fully loaded, that's not bad. What features did you upgrade? The <a href="http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=318110&CatId=3124" rel="nofollow">base spec</a> has a 12" display, only 1 GB of SDRAM, a 1.2 Ghz processor, and 120GB hard drive.

They said they will go up to 10% of the cost fora similar model so £1000 today would give me a similar model upto £1100 in 3 years. I've read all the T's & C's and cannot find a loophole - The additional warrany cost me £40 (All lifebook units come with 2 as standard) so again if it only cos't me around £40 every three years for the rest of my life even after 1 notebook upg I would have made my money back This is where the details of the deal I got are <a href="http://www.misco.co.uk/content/fujitsusiemens/lifebookesprimo/lifebook.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.misco.co.uk/content/fujitsusiemens/lif...</a> I think it's a great idea, I bought a high spec P8010 with loads of RAM, 3G etc so it's currently maxed out so I doubt I will need to upgrade it before three years.

I wonder if wiping and loading some other OS would invalidate the warranty, and thereby nullify the upgrade deal? But as you said, if you're going to run Linux, you shouldn't need a new one in three years anyway.
