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.

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,
