Is it surprising that some folks tend to look at warranties for any product even before deciding if it’s the right product for them? Not really — it could mean a lot to make sure what kind of service you can expect before making the purchase decision.
For instance, if you’re looking to buy a laptop, definitely you’ll be looking at the laptop warranty. But what does it cover? If it says ‘lifetime warranty’, it doesn’t necessarily mean the laptop is covered so long as you own it. It just means that the warranty is valid so long as the laptop is working — in other words, the laptop’s lifetime. Not yours!
It always pays to read between the lines (even if it’s fine print) when looking at warranty clauses. On the other hand, you could buy some personal property insurance from some of the established coverage providers on the Web.
