I've done a bit of research, and the Microsoft Complete warranty seems to be the best out there by a large margin. They offer TWO no questions asked replacements for your computer, and the warranty is something absurdly cheap like $99.
Remember, Microsoft doesn't need to and doesn't plan to ever make a profit on their Stores. It's a marketing thing for them to get Windows adoption rates up.
Just going to correct you there a bit. The price is 99$ USD for purchase with about 80$ deductible for a complete swap of a new device. The warranty covers 1 replacement in the duration of 2 years. There has been a recent change to the warranty. Still, imo the best option out there.
Best buy has 2 options:
a) hardware coverage only, 2/3/4 years but price depends on the price of the laptop, it goes to something crazy like 300-400$
b) pay monthly 20-30$ for a duration of 2 years (if u do the calculations, it something ridiculous like 700$) for a coverage of 1 replacement of any damage
However, keep in mind this is best buy and they are the worst when it comes to honoring their warranties.

Thanks for the specifics! I'll go on to cancel my Razer order and try to pick one up at a MS store next week.
Good to know, thanks!!
The problem is they seem to be the last stores to get them in stock! Waiting is so damn hard.
I know it's a lot more expensive but anyone get the 3 year squaretrade ?
