I am OK since I am in France I get a 2 year warranty. To me it is the minimum. This means the product must be reliable. Unreliable products fail before 2 years. Usually after 2 years it is often wear of the material. They should set 2 years for USA aswell, I think they don t want to take the industrial risk for now, it will come up maybe next year when they have a low failure rate like below 5%/ year.
Moreover I know I can repaire it, so in real life if you tell me “pay extra 60€ for one more year”…I would thing “this is the price of ordering a new trackpad or keyboard”…why would I pay it in advance " ?
I think warranty makes much more sens on device you cannot repair.
1 to 5 years full service 48H back & return via post would be nice for most people, since most people don t know and want to open a computer ! Maybe ~30 €/year
Conerning durability, and how long I can use this device- having 2year - I am more concerned on BIOS updates. After 2 years no BIOS updates means big problem upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 in 2024 for example. Therefore, I thinkk we need at least 4 years BIOS update commitment (5 years beeing the standard in pro laptop):
