Ditch the warranty. Usually computers are pretty reliable, and whatever goes wrong you can fix yourself. In three years time, the way computer prices are falling it would be more economical to buy new anyways. Warranties are a money making business. Chow

Well it depends. Do you like this computer? I have had many computer all in which i wish i extended the warranty of them. As a result, i have had many computers lol. Also you may want to consider if this computer is one you mnay want to use for a while. I have made the mistake of buying a regular computer when I wanted one for gaming. So its all depends. Hope i helped. I would say do it if you plan on using that computer for quite some time. ALOT of things can go wrong with a computer.

Depends on the type of warranty mostly. For 80 euros though it doesn't sound like a bad deal.

It depends on what the warranty covers. Generally speaking warranties aren't worth the paper they are printed on for the consumer and I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole there again I have been working in the computer field for nearly 17 years : )

If you are heavy user you need to go in for add-on warranty service. In case you are limited user you can fix the problem yourself or by contacting a local store when an issue arises.
Depending on the usage of computer and your knowledge on troubleshoooting problems you can decide for the duration of warranty service extension.

only you can really answer it.
a computer is generally regarded as out of date within around 6 months or so as so many new, faster parts arrive on the scene daily..
if your pc does all you need it to do and you really cannot see yourself needing to upgrade in the near future then it could be cash well spent.

considering you are using Euros, go for it. Europe is power surge heaven. I lost a laptop in Greece this summer with a surge protector. That 220V is a bear, and there are few transformers to slow it down in a surge.
