If I were in your situation, if the laptop was in a good condition and my life depends on it, I'll renew the warranty. Otherwise I'll just let it expire.

Other parts certainly don't worth that kind of price. If your LCD shows sign of going off soon, then worth considering. Otherwise, it is a no for me.

What I meant was, if the notebook can still be used without any problem in terms of performance, I'll renew warranty. If not, I'll simply get a new one or use it until it dies (but I don't want it to die with my data so I suggest a backup disk). Yeah I bought a Maxtor OneTouch III mini edition for backups and transferring files to/from work. The biggest we have here in Malaysia is 100GB. For a NAS solution maybe you can consider the Maxtor Shared Storage II. I am drooling over the Turbo editions but they are too expensive ;-) I am considering for a network storage as well for other PCs at home. But I really need a simple backup method for my better half who is less technical. Maybe I should get a OneTouch III USB (full size) next so that backups can be done with a push of a button.

If not, I would get a backup disk such as the Maxtor OneTouch, to backup important data. When the notebook dies, it's time to get a new one. ;-) If the notebook is still in good condition (fast enough for the apps your brother needs), I would renew the warranty.

They mailed me a notice with an offer to purchase an extended warranty. Of course, I did not as I don't need it since my Dell PC including the hardware works just fine.

Dell laptop has a 'reputation' of going NUTZ after 1 year of using. Well, at least that applies to me. I bought a 1 year full coverage. The machine works like horse on dope. After 1.5 years, it is as good as dead. :| Liew,
