# Pasanonic is right
If your laptop has lasted this long the chances of anything going wrong in the next 12 months are small. Eventually it will fail but by the time it does you will have paid much more in warranties than the price of a newbie.

Batteries are another thing. I'm convinced they have a short built in obsolesence and you will probably find they are not covered anyway.

# Aye
I also have that suspicion about batteries, but Dell US seem to think I can get it replaced once the existing warranty is transferred to the right country, I'm cynical but it's worth a try before I pay out myself

# I can find generic replacement batteries for just about anything
for a fraction of the manufacturers price.
I pay £24.99 for 3.0A batteries for my cordless DeWalt tools. De Walt want over £60 for 2.0A versions.
